Brian McDermott has sprung a surprise with his team selection for today's lunchtime kick off at Middlesbrough. Striker Noel Hunt is out from the cold and takes his place up front. Hunt has struggled with injuries and form since his summer move, but has enough ability to be a key player for Leeds in the run in.
Other changes see the injured Byram and Kenny replaced by Peltier and debutant Butland respectively, Wooton replace Lees who is missing for family reasons, and Stewart, as expected, replacing Pugh.
