Leeds United boss Simon Grayson is expected to make changes to his side after what he called an embarrassing performance in the 4-1 defeat at Barnsley on Saturday.
Grayson stated after the game that one or two of his players would not play for Leeds again.
Andros Townsend will be added to the squad after signing on loan from Spurs.
Alex Bruce returned to the bench for Leeds at Barnsley following Leeds decision to recall him from his loan at Huddersfield Town.
Bruce could be in contention for a place in the starting eleven after a very poor defensive performance.
Adam Clayton and Luciano Becchio could be restored to the starting line-up after dropping to the bench.
Striker Mikael Forssell could also return to the squad for the first time since the game with Coventry City in October, with the Leeds striker netting just once between them in the last five games.
Defenders Tom Lees (concussion) and Leigh Bromby (leg) were missing from the squad through injury at Barnsley.
Davide Somma, Jonny Howson and Robert Snodgrass are all definitely out through injury.
Burnley defender Michael Duff is once again expected to be missing after picking up a hamstring injury against Doncaster Rovers on Boxing Day.
Goalkeeper Brian Jensen and striker Danny Ings are both still sidelined through injury.
