Billy Paynter and Scott Cuthbert have been recalled to Town's starting line-up for this afternoon's massive League One clash at Elland Road.

Top scorer Paynter had been suffering from a hamstring strain, while centre-back Cuthbert has recovered from a knee injury.

The pair were both on the bench at Hartlepool last weekend, but have been handed starts this time out at the expense of Frank Nouble, who drops down to the bench, and Alan Sheehan - with the Leeds loanee unable to play due to the conditions of his temporary spell.

Sean Morrison is among the substitutes for Swindon after sitting out the last couple of weeks with a groin problem.

Leeds are without Luciano Becchio, who took a nasty knock to the head last week at Norwich and swallowed his tongue, so Mike Grella starts up front alongside the dangerous Jermaine Beckford.
