FULHAM have faced a frustrating start to the Championship, far from the consistent start of last season.
The Cottagers will attempt to end a run of 1-1 draws against Reading and Norwich, but recent games with Leeds suggest that another draw may be on the cards for the London club.
They will be without Czech international Tomas Kalas who was sent off within 39 seconds after kick-off against Reading last Saturday for a reckless last man tackle.
New signing Aboubakar Kamara will be hoping for a first Championship start. The twenty-two-year-old Frenchman signed for £5m after an 11 goal season in the second tier of French football.
However, eighth place Leeds stand in their way, who have enjoyed a solid start to the season, looking to progress from their seventh place finish from last season, with a 3-2 win away at Bolton and a 0-0 stalemate at home to Preston.
Striker Chris Wood has been reportedly linked with a £16million move away from the club, the powerful number 9 is an asset to the Yorkshire club with 27 goals last season, but will no doubt be the biggest threat in the game.
The game is likely to be a tight one, with both sides coming off the back of strong defensive performances, it is sure to be a battle of the defenders.
