After crashing out of the FA Cup, Leeds United turn their attention to the Championship and their quest for automatic promotion as they travel to Huddersfield Town. The Whites have been almost unstoppable in recent weeks and should have too much for an erratic Huddersfield side.
Huddersfield Town are coming off a 2-1 victory at Watford in their previous Championship fixture. They were made to come from behind with a second half brace from Danny Ward earning them the win.
While that result took them two points clear of the relegation zone, their overall form has been a bit erratic. They have picked up just three wins from her last 10 Championship matches, suffering four defeats in that run.
Huddersfield have also found things difficult at the John Smith’s Stadium, where they have won just three of their last 10 Championship matches. Andre Breitenreiter's men were beaten 2-1 by Hull City in their previous home fixture.
Leeds United travel to Huddersfield Town off the back of a 3-2 defeat to Chelsea in a midweek FA Cup clash. Mateo Joseph netted a brace with the clash seemingly headed for a replay before the Blues netted an injury time winner.
While it was a disappointing defeat, Leeds United will consider the result a bleep and a chance to concentrate on their quest for automatic promotion. They have won their last nine Championship matches and earned a 3-1 victory over leaders Leicester City last time out.
Leeds United have also impressed on their travels, winning their last four Championship away matches. That run has been driven by a solid defence as Daniel Farke’s men kept clean sheets in all four matches.
