Leeds United v Aston Villa

Leeds United have defender Pontus Jansson in contention to return following illness for the home game against Aston Villa.

The Sweden international, who was suspended for the win at Rotherham on 26 November, missed Tuesday's EFL Cup quarter-final defeat at Liverpool.

Villa have injury doubts over defender Nathan Baker (groin) and striker Ross McCormack (ankle).

Defender Micah Richards continues to battle with a calf injury.

Fifth-placed Leeds are seeking their fifth win in six league games against a Villa side which is up to 11th after going unbeaten in seven matches since Steve Bruce took charge in October.
