Leeds vs Birmingham - Ayling arrival at Leeds makes up for Berardi injury

Leeds have new signing Luke Ayling available after he completed his move from Bristol City on Friday.

Ayling has signed a three-year deal and could go straight into the team, with fellow full-back Gaetano Berardi doubtful with a hamstring injury.

Garry Monk's side beat Fleetwood on penalties in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night, so those who played the full 120 minutes will be assessed for fatigue.

Liam Cooper, back from a pre-season injury, was given 45 minutes in that game to build his conditioning, and Marcus Antonsson scored his first goal for the club after coming on as a substitute.

New signing Che Adams could make his Birmingham debut following a move from Sheffield United.

The striker joined for B#1.5million, which could rise to B£2million depending on clauses, on Monday with Blues in desperate need of more goals.

Fellow forward Nicolai Brock-Madsen is in Brazil with Denmark for the Olympics ahead of their quarter-final match with Nigeria on Saturday.

Tomasz Kuszczak, Clayton Donaldson and Diego Fabbrini are all likely to return to the starting line-up following Birmingham's 1-0 cup defeat to Oxford on Tuesday.
