Unbeaten at home
Leeds United are unbeaten at home this season and are the best home team in the EFL Championship with 43 points from 17 games played at Elland Road
To regain second place and put pressure on
Leeds United need three points to get back to second place. To do so, they need to win and Ipswich Town must not win against Bristol City. Should Leeds win, they would be two points behind Leicester City, who play on Wednesday.
