TEAM NEWS
**Patrick Kisnorbo and Neil Kilkenny face a battle to be fit for Leeds after missing out through injury on Saturday.**Max Gradel and loanees Gary McSheffrey and Shane Lowry are ineligible.
Spurs miss Roman Pavlyuchenko because of a groin injury, Ledley King is again rested, Younes Kaboul is cup-tied and Eidur Gudjohnsen is not considered.
Aaron Lennon and Benoit Assou-Ekotto are still injured so youngsters Dean Parrett (midfield) and Harry Kane (striker) are included in the squad.
Leeds United manager Simon Grayson told BBC Radio Leeds:
"We are trying to get this club back to where it used to be and lifting its profile once more and games like this help do that and show what the club is all about.
"We still have a lot of hard work to get back to the level we used to be at but games against Spurs, Liverpool and Manchester United this season have given us a taste of what it could be like again here.
"You can’t make us favourites just because we are at home, because they have world class players and are a very good team.
“But our players can do it and if Spurs have a down day we certainly can win.”
