Leicester City and Leeds United will square off at Elland Road on Friday night in a huge top-of-the-table clash in the Championship.
The Foxes remain the team to beat in the second-tier this season. The East Midlands outfit are top of the table, 14 points clear of their third-placed Leeds in the race for automatic promotion.
They head into this encounter off the back of a 2-1 victory at QPR last time out, which was their ninth straight Championship win, and will be aiming to stretch their lead at the top even further with a positive result here.
The Whites, on the other hand, have not quite enjoyed the same level of success in the Championship as their hosts, but they are still very much in the running for an instant promotion back to the Premier League.
After a slightly wobbly start to their league campaign, Daniel Farke’s side have now won four of their last five matches in the English second tier, and picked up a 4-1 victory over Huddersfield Town in their previous Championship fixture, with braces from Dan James and Crysencio Summerville.
