Playmaker Samuel Saiz will begin the match in place of Pierre-Michel Lasogga as the Whites boss looks to have reverted back to his familiar 4-2-3-1 formation.

The German started in Good Friday's 2-1 win over Bolton Wanderers at Elland Road in a 4-4-2 formation, but with the Spaniard returning to training in recent days after a hamstring issue Saiz has forced his way back into the starting line-up once again.
