The action continues in round 17 of EFL Championship as Leeds United host Luton Town at Elland Road on Wednesday. Daniel Farke’s hosts have won their last five home matches in the league.
Wilfried Gnonto struck in the first minute of stoppage time to help Leeds snatch a 4-3 victory over Swansea City in a seven-goal thriller at the Swansea.com Stadium on Saturday.
Before that, Farke’s men saw their eight-game unbeaten run come to an end with a 1-0 loss to Millwall, three days before bouncing back in a 2-0 home victory over Queens Park Rangers.
This fine run of results has seen Leeds surge to the top of the Championship standings, level on points with second-placed Sunderland and third-placed Sheffield United.
Meanwhile, Luton maintained their fine run of results at home with a 1-0 victory over Hull City at the weekend. However, the Hatters have lost their last four matches, conceding 13 goals and scoring four since a 1-0 win over Millwall in September.
With 18 points from 16 matches, Luton are 16th in the league but could surge into 11th place with all three points.
