Team news - Liam Cooper misses out as Leeds United take on an unchanged Aston Villa
and live on Freeview channel 276
His place in the team has been taken by Gjanni Alioski who is expected to play at left-back with Stuart Dallas moving to right-back and Luke Ayling playing in the centre alongside Robin Koch.
Centre-half Cooper picked up the problem on international duty with Scotland but attempted to come back for Monday's clash with Wolves at Elland Road. However he pulled out of the warm up after suffering discomfort and had to be replaced by Pascal Struijk.
