The 24-year-old striker has been sidelined with an ankle injury since the 3-2 win over the Cumbrians last month.
However, after training on Thursday, McAllister believes United's top-scorer will be fit for the crucial clash at Elland Road.
"We're hopeful about Jermaine. He trained with us on Thursday, then the players are back in Saturday and Sunday before the game," he told the club's official website.
