Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford is doubtful for the Yorkshire derby at Huddersfield after he hurt his ankle against Carlisle over the weekend.Tresor Kandol was his replacement on Saturday and is expected to partner on-loan Crystal Palace forward Dougie Freedman should Beckford fail to make it.

Freedman has shaken off the sickness bug which threatened his participation on Saturday.

Midfielder Neil Kilkenny is expected to play on, despite struggling with an ankle problem, but Leeds will be without on-loan defender Alan Sheehan, who sits out the second of a three-game ban.

David Prutton and Anthony Elding are likely to resume on the substitutes' bench again as promotion-chasing Leeds look to extend their winning run to four matches.
