Leeds United travel to take on Cardiff City on Tuesday night in a top-of-the-table Championship clash, with the Yorkshire side getting a double boost ahead of the game in Wales.

Both Pontus Jansson and Pierre-Michel Lasogga look set to feature for the current division leaders, in what will be a boost to their chances of recording three points against the Bluebirds.

The German striker, who is on loan at Elland Road from Bundesliga side Hamburg, became a father on Friday night as his girlfriend gave birth to his daughter.

However, Thomas Christiansen has praised Lasogga for making himself available for the game against Ipswich Town on Saturday, in which he scored – with the centre forward not revealing the new arrival to his team-mates until after the 3-2 win.
