Leeds United will look to retain their place at the top of the Championship table when they visit struggling Hull City on Saturday (15:00 GMT).

Hull are battling with a host of fitness issues going into Saturday’s game, with up to seven first-team players absent. Selles confirmed following Wednesday’s defeat to Middlesbrough that winger Ryan Longman will miss out due to a groin injury, while Liam Millar - who has been a thorn in Leeds’ side previously - is also unavailable.

Left wounded by that agonising defeat and having dropped back into the relegation zone as a result, albeit only trailing Portsmouth by a single point, Hull City will now hope to bounce back to winning ways on home turf and move back out of the bottom three at the weekend.
