Having stumbled last time out, Leeds United will be targeting a swift return to winning ways as they host Hull City in a Monday night Championship fixture. Leeds remain imperious at home and should be too strong for Hull, who are struggling at the moment.
Leeds United were held to a 2-2 draw at Watford in their previous Championship fixture. They fell behind twice and struck back both times thanks to efforts from Crysencio Summerville and Mateo Joseph.
That result means Leeds United have now dropped to second on the standings, one point behind new leaders Ipswich Town. Manager Daniel Farke will be disappointed with the draw but Leeds are still unbeaten in their last 14 matches, claiming 12 wins in that run.
Elland Road is where Leeds United often do their best work having won their last eight Championship home matches. They also have a solid defensive record in front of their fans, keeping six clean sheets in that run.
Hull City are coming off a surprise 2-0 defeat to Stoke City in their previous Championship fixture. Despite seeing more of the ball, they struggled to find their cutting edge in attack, failing to muster even a single attempt on target.
The result means Hull City are winless in their last five matches, although four of those fixtures have ended in draws. Liam Rosenior’s men are slowly losing ground in the promotion playoff race as they now sit ninth on the table, six points off the top six.
The good news for Hull City heading into Monday’s clash is that they have done their best work on their travels. They have won four of their last five away matches but were held to a 0-0 draw by Preston North End in their previous fixture on the road.
How the bookies view it
The bookies have installed Leeds United as overwhelming favourites with a home win priced at 10/21 by Coral. A victory for Hull City is valued at 6/1 by William Hill while a draw is set at odds of 18/5 by Coral.

Players to watch
Leeds United’s defensive record at Elland Road is quite solid with six clean sheets in their last seven home matches. Joe Rodon and Ethan Ampadu have been pivotal at the back and can lead the hosts to another clean sheet at 11/10 with William Hill.
At the other end of the pitch, Crysencio Summerville could be the one to watch for Leeds United after ending a mini goal drought to net his 16th goal of the season. The forward often goes on a scoring run and is priced at 7/4 by Unibet to find the net on Monday.
Anything else catch the eye?
Leeds United have won to nil in six of their last eight home matches and a repeat is priced at 6/4 by bet365. Given the attacking quality at their disposal, the hosts could also be backed in the -1 handicap market at 13/10 by Paddy Power.
Leeds United have scored in both halves in their last three matches and Monday’s clash could be set to follow a similar pattern at 5/4 with BoyleSports.
