Leeds United vs Bristol City Preview

Having secured promotion to the Premier League, Leeds United now turn their attention to the Championship title.

With Burnley's recent 5-0 victory over QPR propelling them to 97 points, Leeds enter their penultimate game three points behind the Clarets.

They do have a game-in-hand though, and they boast a superior goal difference of +60 compared to Burnley's +51, providing them with a slight edge in this tight race.

Bristol City, meanwhile, can strengthen their grip on a place in the end-of-season play-offs.

The Robins are currently sat fifth with 67 points, and they know that a win at Elland Road would guarantee their place, while a loss could leave them vulnerable to challenges from teams below.

Leed United Team News

Leeds United may introduce 16-year-old Harry Gray into the starting lineup, following his debut against Stoke City.

Pascal Struijk (foot) and Joe Rothwell (calf) remain unavailable.

Joel Piroe, leading the Championship's scoring charts, is expected to spear-head the attack, supported by Wilfried Gnonto and Manor Solomon .

Bristol City Team News

Bristol City face defensive challenges with left-back Cameron Pring (hamstring) and midfielder Joe Williams (quad) sidelined.

Mark Sykes is out for the season and Scott Twine is regaining match fitness, while Anis Mehmeti and Nahki Wells are anticipated to lead the offensive efforts.

Verdict
