Leeds United are now heading for a massive bottom-of-the-table clash at Nottingham Forest - for which four men are out and three more doubtful.
Just five points separate the two sides after contrasting fortunes at the weekend, Leeds falling to an extremely disappointing 3-0 defeat at Brighton.
Forest, meanwhile, picked up their first point under new boss Sean Dyche through a 2-2 draw at home to Manchester United which took them a point closer to fifth-bottom Leeds.
Sunday afternoon’s huge clash at The City Ground now represents a true six-pointer in the lower reaches of the division, providing Leeds with the chance to kick eight points clear of Forest but Forest with the opportunity to get within just two points.
There are, though, four men out of Sunday’s contest for which three more are doubts but with a star now back.
Here, we run through the early injury news from both sides.
United's Italian international winger Gnonto failed to make the matchday squad against Brighton. Farke, though, had warned beforehand that it would be a late decision over whether Gnonto would make the bench after only recently returning to training upon recovering from minor surgery. The Italian returned to training last week and should now be a stronger option for Farke given another week on the grass.

A fresh blow for Forest and potentially a big one, Brazilian international midfielder Luiz forced off in just the 14th minute of Saturday's draw against Manchester United with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. Dyche said post match that he wasn't sure about the injury or the extent of it and that assessment would reveal more. Clearly a big doubt.
