Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday will face each other in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.
Leeds United will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Sheffield Wednesday at Elland Road.
Both Leeds and Wednesday are doing extremely well this season and are in the running for the playoffs.
The Whites are fifth in the league table at the moment with 58 points from 33 matches, level on points with the Owls, who are currently sixth in the standings and have played 32 games.
Garry Monk’s side recent form has been patchy. The West Yorkshire outfit lost successive matches to Huddersfield Town and Cardiff City before winning against Bristol City and then drew with Ipswich Town away from home at Portman Road in the Championship at the weekend.
Former Leeds striker Noel Whelan believes that playing against Wednesday will suit the Whites.
“Sheffield Wednesday will want to play football and will be expansive – and that suits us down to the ground,” Whelan told BBC Sport. “We need that intensity and to bring the game properly. It’s massive that we get the three points.”
Leeds are a good team, and they should head into the match against Wednesday with confidence. Playing at home is also going to be advantage, as the Elland Road faithful will be in full voice.
Wednesday do have the ability to score against the Whites, but it is hard to see Leeds drop all three points.
