Leeds should line up the same across the back, with Ankergren keen to keep his first clean sheet.  Richardson and Sheehan take up the wide defensive roles with Marques and Huntington in the centre.  The back four has looked nervous at times so far and Leeds boss, Gary McAllister will be eager to see them compose themselves early on.

Snodgrass is the only doubt in midfield, suffering from a tight hamstring but the Scot will not want to miss his home debut after imressing in the last two matches.  Howson and Prutton should form the centre partnership but youngster, Fabian Delph could also be in the running for a starting place after a great performance mid-week against Chester City. Robinson is also expected to start, keeping Bradley Johnson on the bench.

It remains to be seen what McAllister decides to do upfront.  Beckford will start but either Becchio or Showumni could partner him.  In the two games so far, we've seen a combination of all three, Beckford and Showumni, Beckford and Bechio and Becchio with Showumni.

Oldham meanwhile come into the game having beaten ten-man Milwall 4-3 on the opening day of the season last Saturday but only managed a 0-0 draw against Rochdale mid-week, running out eventual winners on penalties.  Striker Craig Davies begins a three match suspension for headbutting an opponent in the League Cup clash and is currently facing club disciplinary action.

Fans wishing to purchase tickets are advised to get to the ground early, with only restricted viewing and single seats remaining in the North and South Stand.

We would remind all fans that the new Leeds shirt IS NOT available to purchase from the club shop at this time.
