Leeds United will be keen to keep their winning run going as they aim to push up the table when they face Bristol City on Saturday
Leeds United got back to winning ways when they defeated Queens Park Rangers midweek and will be keen to put together a run when they welcome Bristol City on Saturday.
Despite winning just four of their opening ten Championship games, Leeds find themselves in the sixth spot. While they have space to make up to secure an automatic promotion position, they are well entrenched in the battle for a playoff spot
Bristol City are in 11th position but only one point off Leeds. A win on Saturday, accompanied by positive results elsewhere, could see Nigel Pearson’s men soar up the table while Leeds could tumble down it.
The Championship is well known for being a difficult testing ground and every point could make or break your season. Leeds have perfected the art of playing Jekyll and Hyde as they continue to put up inconsistent results.
Leicester are currently running away with the title and Daniel Farke’s men should put on a consistent run of wins in order to keep up. Given the volatile nature of the playoffs, it is a dangerous path to take, especially given the quality on offer at Elland Road.
Bristol can take a huge step towards a playoff spot should they beat Leeds this weekend. However, they have not beaten the Peacocks at Elland Road this century and face an uphill task given the difference in quality between both teams. The Hard Tackle looks at how both sides could line up on Sunday and what tactics they might employ.
