Caretaker boss Neil Redfearn will remain in charge of the first team for tomorrow’s Yorkshire derby against Sheffield Wednesday, with McDermott set to take charge for the first time during Tuesday night’s clash with Burnley.

Leeds are just five points clear of the Championship’s relegation places with five games to play.
