Leeds chairman Ken Bates wants his club to meet Bradford City in the two-legged Johnstone’s Paint Trophy Northern Area final.

While Leeds have home advantage against League Two side Accrington Stanley tomorrow night, City travel to take on League One opponents Carlisle.

Bates said: “Accrington’s game against us is their Wembley, but hopefully we will beat them and earn the right to play Carlisle or Bradford.

“Bradford would be nice because it’s a West Yorkshire derby and it would save on travelling expenses for both clubs.”

Goalkeeper Alan Martin has yet to make a first-team appearance for Leeds but he can have an important impact on tomorrow night’s game at Elland Road.

The Scottish Under-21 international played ten games while on loan to Accrington from the start of this season and can help Leeds manager Simon Grayson with inside knowledge.

Martin, 20, was originally due to stay at Accrington until January 1, but was recalled on October 27 to understudy Casper Ankergren as first choice Shane Higgs was injured and Frank Fielding returned to his parent club, Blackburn Rovers.

Martin would have no mixed feelings about passing on information to assist Grayson as the young keeper recently drew criticism from the Lancashire club’s camp for complaining they had no goalkeeping coach.

Since returning to Elland Road, Martin has been an unused substitute eight times but was replaced on the bench at Brentford on Saturday by David Martin, who is no relation and is currently on loan from Liverpool.

Once again, Grayson is expected to make changes as his squad copes with fixture congestion.

Robert Snodgrass is available after serving a one-match suspension, while captain Richard Naylor has recovered from injury and was an unused substitute on Saturday.
