Leeds United host Queens Park Rangers at Elland Road for Wednesday evening's EFL Championship clash, looking to get back to winning ways.
The Peacocks come into this midweek fixture on the back of a disappointing 3-1 defeat over the weekend to Southampton, halting their momentum in their bid to win promotion back to the Premier League under the new management of Daniel Farke.
The Whites had been unbeaten in six games prior to the defeat, which has seen them drop to ninth and has seen some reservations over their chances of success return after morale was buoyed by their stellar run.
As for QPR, a 3-1 home loss to Coventry City saw them drop into the relegation zone after Middlesbrough beat Watford. The R's are currently winless in four games and have only won twice in past nine Championship games.
