Team News

Leeds

  • Alex Mowatt is expected to return to the side in place of Michael Brown.
  • Scott Wootton could be out until Christmas, so either Lee Peltier or Marius Zaliukas will replace him, with Sam Byram returning too.

Middlesbrough

  • Emmanuel Ledesma is still expected to miss out with Josef Varga in line to return to the side.
  • George Friend could well start at left back in Aitor Karanka’s side.

Match Facts

  • Leeds have won their last 3 home matches in Championship.
  • Middlesbrough have lost their last 3 away matches in Championship.
  • There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 5 of Leeds’s last 6 games in Championship.
  • Leeds have scored at least 2 goals in their last 4 matches in Championship.

Prediction

  • Leeds are starting to find the sort of form that is expected of them in the Championship with four wins in their last six games.
  • Three wins on the bounce at Elland Road will also add confidence as they host inconsistent Middlesbrough.
  • Boro have hired Aitor Karanka to replace Tony Mowbray and the former Real Madrid number two will be desperate to turn round the fortunes of the north east club.
  • Three defeats in a row on the road suggests that Boro may struggle against in-form Leeds.

Leeds 3 - 1 Middlesbrough
