Leeds United and Bristol City will battle for three points in an EFL Championship matchday 11 fixture on Saturday.
The hosts are coming into the game on the back of a 1-0 victory over QPR at the same venue in midweek. Crysencio Sumerville's ninth-minute strike proved to be the difference between the two sides.
Bristol City, meanwhile, claimed maximum points in a 2-1 away win over Rotherham United. A dramatic end to the game saw three goals scored in the final 10 minutes. Tommy Conway scored a brace either side of Tyler Blackett's 86th-minute strike, with the match-winner coming in the fifth minute of injury time.
The victory took the Robins to 11th spot in the table, having garnered 15 points from 10 games. Leeds United occupy the final playoff spot, with 16 points to show for their efforts in 10 games.
