    Eagle-eyed readers will have noticed Mr Evans turns 53 tomorrow...will the Leeds boss have more than his birthday to celebrate after tonight's encounter?

    We're just a few minutes away from kick-off...

    Leeds and turmoil...two words that have seemingly gone hand in hand in recent months.

    The man at the centre of the merry-go-round is chairman Massimo Cellino who launched an appeal on Wednesday against his Football League ban.

    The Italian was found guilty of an offence under Italian tax legislation relating to the non-payment of VAT in June.

    However, tonight all the focus will be on the pitch where Leeds need to start picking up some points.

  4. Reliant on Rhodes?published at 19:34

    Leeds v Blackburn (19:45 GMT)

    Blackburn's Jordan Rhodes has scored seven of Rovers' 12 goals in the Championship so far this season.

    Five other players, including Nathan Delfouneso and Craig Conway, have scored one league goal.

    Can someone else step up for Gary Bowyer's side tonight at Elland Road?

    Cast your minds back to 1995 Leeds and Blackburn fans...not a bad year was it?

    Blackburn of course were crowned Premier League champions in May of that year, while Leeds finished fifth in the top flight under Howard Wilkinson.

    It's a different story in 2015, with both clubs struggling near the foot of the second tier, but like the great man himself Blackburn have a striker who likes a goal or two...

    For the third match in a row since Steve Evans arrived, Leeds have named an unchanged starting XI.

    Top scorer Chris Wood, who picked up a knock at the weekend, is deemed fit enough to start.

    Winger Jordan Botaka returns to the bench after struggling with tonsillitis, in the only change to the home side's squad.

    Who can forget Steve Evans turning up at Elland Road in a sombrero on the last day of the 2013-14 season after securing Rotherham's survival in the Championship?

    It's an image which will live long in the memory I'm sure!

    The final day of the season often sees supporters donning fancy dress, so we'd like to know what the best wacky outfit that you've worn on the terraces is?

  10. Two teams in poor formpublished at 19:17

    Leeds v Blackburn (19:45 GMT)

    Both teams have managed just two wins each so far this season, with tonight's hosts Leeds yet to taste victory at home and visitors Blackburn yet to win away.

    Leeds have won just one of their last eight games, and are without a home win since 4 March - a run of 11 matches.

    Blackburn have picked up just three points on the road so far in 2014-15 and are without a win on their travels since 4 April.

    And who did they beat on that day? Yes, you guessed it - tonight's opponents Leeds.

  11. Welcome to Elland Road, Mr Evanspublished at 19:15

    Leeds v Blackburn (19:45 GMT)

    Good evening. If you're here for Steve Evans' first home game in charge at Elland Road, you've come to the right place.

    We can't promise you sombreros, flip flops and shorts - but what we can guarantee is a game that both teams are absolutely desperate to win.

    At the start of the season, surely only the most pessimistic of Leeds and Blackburn fans would have seen their clubs lying 17th and 18th in the Championship table respectively after 13 games.

    But that is where they find themselves. Can either side kick-start their season tonight?
