Leeds United will be hoping to build on 2 straight home wins when they visit Birmingham, in a clash with little meaning for both teams.
Steve Morison will be back in contention for the whites after sitting out the midweek win over Burnley. Chris Dawson will be unavailable after undergoing shoulder surgery, and won’t be seeing any more first team action this season. Lee Peltier is still a doubt for the game, so we should be seeing the partnership between Jason Pearce and Tom Lees continue at the back.
United have seen a resurgence in form since the appointment of boss Brian McDermott, and the new man at the helm will be hoping to turn around a dismal record on the road. Birmingham will be no pushovers however, with their recent form picking up in time to avoid a relegation scrap.The whites away contingent haven’t seen an away victory since they visited Saturday’s opponents in the FA cup, and in the league we have to go back to the 4-2 victory against Huddersfield to see an away victory. Another quite shocking statistic is the fist half goals record. It has been 19 games since we have witnessed a first half goal scored by Leeds. Woeful viewing for those hardcore south stand fans…
