What is the team news?
Leeds' January signing Jean-Kevin Augustin is feeling the effects of a hamstring injury and may not be fit to feature.
Adam Forshaw had an injury back in February that effectively ended his season, so he is still not available.

Cardiff will be without Jazz Richards due to a calf injury.
The Bluebirds will also have to make do without Greg Cunningham and Isaac Vassell as they are not match fit.

Leeds United get their campaign back underway this afternoon with a tricky trip to South Wales to face Neil Harris' Cardiff City.
With West Bromwich Albion failing to beat Birmingham City yesterday, Marcelo Bielsa's side could go three points clear at the top of the Championship table with victory.
And with Fulham losing to local rivals Brentford late on, three points would also put the Whites on the brink of promotion – ten points clear of Scott Parker's team in third with eight games left to play.
Doing so won't be easy, however, with Cardiff still chasing promotion dreams of their own.
Prior to the coronavirus-enforced break, the Bluebirds defeated Barnsley 2-0 to go within just two points of Preston North End in the final playoff spot.
The Cardiff City Stadium has become something of a fortress this season, with Harris' men having lost only two of 18 matches there.
And Leeds' task will be made all the more difficult by the absence of a trio of high-profile players.
Adam Forshaw will miss the remainder of the season with a hip injury, while Pablo Hernandez isn't set to return to full training until Wednesday.
January signing Jean-Kevin Augustin, who has so far made just three appearances for Leeds, is on a personal fitness regime and is not yet ready to play.
