Duo in line for starts

Leon Constantine and Filipe Da Costa could make their first starts for Leeds in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Bury.

Leon Constantine and Filipe Da Costa could make their first starts for Leeds in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy clash with Bury. Striker Constantine, a summer signing from Port Vale, has made two appearances from the substitutes' bench after being injured earlier in the season. Da Costa, signed from Greek side Ionikos in September, has stepped off the bench on six occasions, but has yet to make the starting line-up. Manager Dennis Wise is expected to stick with several fringe players following the goalless FA Cup draw at Hereford on Friday. Defenders Ben Parker and Paul Huntington and midfield pair Jonny Howson and Curtis Weston will all be hoping to retain their places in the side. Skipper Alan Thompson is not expected to return following a calf injury and fellow midfielder Andy Hughes misses the northern section quarter-final due to a one-game ban.

Bury

Bury boss Chris Casper has only one absentee for the trip to Leeds. On-loan Hartlepool midfielder Lee Bullock is ineligible to face Dennis Wise's side as his parent club are still in the competition and do not want him cup-tied. But Casper has no other concerns as his men seek to build on their FA Cup first-round win against Workington with victory at Elland Road.
