Leeds United are set to play Southampton at Elland Road on Saturday in the English Premier League.

Southampton, on the other hand, beat Graham Potter's Chelsea 1-0 in the league. A goal from star midfielder James Ward-Prowse sealed the deal for Southampton.

Leeds United vs Southampton Prediction
Leeds United are 19th in the league table, with very few surprised to see the exit of Jesse Marsch as manager. Spaniard Javi Gracia, probably best known for his time at Watford, has a tough job on his hands, with Leeds United struggling to pick up points right now.
They are only two points behind 17th-placed Bournemouth, but their current performances have not inspired confidence. Leeds United have not shied from spending big money this season, but questions have been raised about the recruitment strategy, with the likes of Weston McKennie, Maximilian Wober and Brenden Aaronson arriving with big expectations.
Southampton, like Leeds United, were extremely active during the January transfer window. They too recently sacked Nathan Jones from the managerial position, and are a point behind Leeds United, and occupy the bottom of the league table.
Jones' time at Southampton saw more focus being placed on his press conferences and interesting comments rather than on the actual football. Interim manager Ruben Selles is hoping to become the permanent manager of the club, and more results like the Chelsea one will surely help his cause.
Two sides in a relegation battle face each other; Southampton to win this game.
Prediction: Leeds United 2-1 Southampton
