LUFC West Ham v Leeds Team News

Leeds United boss Simon Grayson will have a welcome selection headache for the weekend trip to West Ham United.

Grayson welcomes back to the squad, captain Jonny Howson and last years player of the season Max Gradel, after the pair sat out the 4-1 midweek win over Hull City through suspension.

The Leeds boss will have to decide whether to bring the pair back or stick with the side that did so well against Hull.

Aidy White looks like continuing at left back with Leigh Bromby still injured.

Strikers Davide Somma, Luciano Becchio and Billy Paynter also remain on the sidelines.

West Ham are hopeful that James Tomkins will be fit in time for the game on Sunday after the defender was forced off in their midweek win over Watford with a tight hamstring.

Striker John Carew and former Leeds loan defender George McCartney are still waiting for their first appearance since signing and could be added to the squad.

Jordan Brown and Gary O`Neill will once again be missing for the hammers with long term injuries.

Do you think Grayson should bring Howson and Gradel back into the side?
If so, who do you think the unfortunate players should be to step aside?
To have your say sign up to Vital Leeds.

I think we will see both Howson and Gradel return. Brown should make way for Howson but will feel sorry for Nunez if he is dropped again after another decent performance.

I think Grayson should stick with the team that hammered Hull'...There's no way I'd drop Nunez! Give him and Brown 45 mins the bring Gradel and Howson on' then...But in saying that Brown probably will be benched for Howson...
