Sheffield Wednesday head coach Carlos Carvalhal has fitness doubts over skipper Glenn Loovens (ankle), Keiren Westwood (kidney) and Atdhe Nuhiu (neck).
They also drew in 90 minutes with Doncaster Rovers in the Capital One Cup – subsequently being knocked out on penalties – meaning they’ve drawn their last five in all competitions going back to the end of last season, a run they’ve not endured since 1997.
Leeds did not make the most of all their extra possession, however, with Wood heading wide after doing well to meet a cross that was just behind him and Mowatt’s free-kick being comfortably saved by Price.
“I am absolutely delighted with my players – for the third week in the season and to play four games in nine days, three away from home”.
He said: “I’d be quite excited about their style of play”.
“We are asking for one more big effort from the players this week“.
“We were a goal down for the first time this season but we came back strongly and I tried to win the game by sending on another striker (Souleymane Doukara)”.
“They’re starting games very fast and that’s something we have to be aware of”.
Rosler said: “Everyone wants us to win, pushes us to win but the way we came back I couldn’t ask for more”.
“Other than their goal – a wonder goal – I can’t recall them having another chance”.
Few would dispute that the youngster displays the pace and technical ability to cut it in such a position, and a good performance in that right wing position against Burnley went some way to justifying Rosler’s decision.
“We are looking at the glass half-full, not half-empty”.

Sol Bamba and Mowatt combined to send Dallas scampering in from the right and the winger’s low cross into the goalmouth was blasted in by Wood.
