IN the absence of Willie Boland, Hartlepool United manager Danny Wilson asked Ritchie Humphreys to continue in central midfield.
Boland, still nursing a hamstring problem, was not risked as Pools looked to maintain their recent run of good form against Leeds United.
Wilson, whose side have won their last three league matches, otherwise retained the same starting line-up that overcame Oldham seven days ago.
LEEDS UNITED (4-4-2): Ankergren; Richardson, Marques, Heath, Hughes; Prutton, Carole, Howson, Clapham; Kandol, Beckford. Subs: Huntington, Westlake, Bayly, Parker, Ameobi.
HARTLEPOOL UNITED (4-4-2): Budtz; McCunnie, Nelson, Antwi, Elliott; Brown, Liddle, Humphreys, Monkhouse; Barker, Moore. Subs: Clark, Porter, Foley, Gibb, Lee-Barrett.
Referee: Pat Miller (Luton)
