United manager Simon Grayson is considering his selection options for Tuesday's Elland Road clash with Oldham Athletic.

The visit of Oldham is United's 12th game in the space of 38 days and the boss has been forced into making changes more regularly than he would like to keep the squad fresh.

Grayson made four changes on Saturday against Brighton, and after Luciano Becchio andRobert Snodgrass stepped off the bench, it was the latter who struck the all-important equaliser.

"Luciano and Snoddy are two lads who looked tired against Walsall last week and needed a breather," he said.

"We've had to change things slightly because some of the players have looked a bit leggy.

"Snoddy and Luci have been two of our best players over the season, then there's the likes of Mike Grella and Max Gradel who are pushing. Everyone is in contention for Tuesday, and I'll make an honest selection."

Two players set to boost the squad even further for the run-in are Tresor Kandol and Ben Parker. The duo are both training again after injury, and are likely to come back in the reserves at Huddersfield next midweek.

"Tres has trained again and Ben has so they've had a week's training which is good for them," added the boss.

"The only injuries are Shane Higgs and Rui Marques so we will have a near full complement for the remaining weeks.

"This group can carry us forward."

Fans are reminded that Howard's Way is closed for the game, but the C&E and Billy's Bar are open as usual before the game. The C&E is closed aftwards.
