Leeds United boss Brian McDermott has decided to start defender Lee Peltier as his side welcome Bournemouth in the Championship this evening.

Peltier had previously managed to come through Leeds's previous 2-0 defeat to Millwall unscathed, as he continues his return from injury.

Leeds also feature Michael Tonge and Rodolph Austin in midfield with Ross McCormack and Noel Hunt in attack.

Bournemouth are without midfielder Richard Hughes after his red card in Saturday's loss to Blackburn Rovers, while Matt Ritchie, Shaun McDonald and Charlie Daniels are all absent. However, the Cherries have retained the services of Lewis Grabban, Marc Pugh and new signing Tokelo Rantie.

Leeds United: Kenny; Peltier, Pearce, Lees, Warnock, Green, Austin, Mowatt, Tonge, McCormack, Hunt

Bournemouth: Allsop; Francis, Cook, Ward, Harte, Fraser, O'Kane, Collison, Pugh, Grabban, Rantie
