Team News: Luciano Becchio left out by Leeds

Becchio left out by Leeds

Leeds United's leading goalscorer Luciano Becchio has been left out of the squad that will take on Tottenham Hotspur in the FA Cup this afternoon.

The Argentine recently handed in a transfer request at Elland Road, which is believed to have been rejected by the club.

As a result, his role as a lone striker has gone to Ross McCormack.

Tottenham are also without their top scorer as Jermain Defoe has dropped out, leaving Clint Dempsey to fill the void.

Leeds: Ashdown; Byram, Peltier, Lees, White; Green, Brown, Austin, Varney, Diouf; McCormack

Tottenham: Friedel; Naughton, Caulker, Vertonghen, Assou-Ekotto; Huddlestone, Parker; Lennon, Sigurdsson, Bale; Dempsey
