LUFC Birmingham v Leeds Team News

Leeds United boss Neil Warnock will make changes for the FA Cup tie at Birmingham City on Tuesday night.

Both Michael Tonge and Ross Barkley will miss out, as they are ineligible for the game having not been at the club at the time of the initial tie.

James Ashdown is expected to replace Paddy Kenny in goal for this game.

Adam Drury and Danny Pugh remain doubts after they missed the defeat at Barnsley at the weekend with the virus that has swept Elland Road since the start of the year.

Leigh Bromby and Ramon Nunez remain long-term absentees.

Leeds nemesis Nikola Zigic will be pushing for a starting place after returning from suspension at Huddersfield at the weekend.

Zigic came off the bench at Huddersfield and it will be his first opportunity to play against Leeds this season after being suspended for both previous games at Elland Road this season. Last season he netted five times in the two games against Leeds.

Peter Lovenkrands and Marlon King are pushing for a start after returning from injury at the weekend.

Striker Callum Reilly was withdrawn at half time at Huddersfield after suffering with a virus and he will be assessed before the game. Jonathan Spector returned from injury at the weekend when he replaced Reilly but he suffered a re-occurrence of his ankle injury and he will also be assessed ahead of the game.

Will Packwood, Stephen Carr, Hayden Mullins, Darren Ambrose, David Murphy, Akwasi Asante, Papa Bouba Diop, Emmitt Delfouneso and Keith Fahey are all out through injury.
