Leeds United will be looking to maintain their good run of form when they return to action in the Championship this afternoon.

The West Yorkshire outfit will take on Derby County away from home at the iPro Stadium.

The Whites will head into the match on the back of a 2-1 victory over Barnsley at Elland Road in the Championship.

Leeds are 11th in the league table at the moment with 16 points from 11 matches, just four points behind sixth-placed Birmingham City.

Meanwhile, Derby currently find themselves 21st in the Championship table with only 10 points from 11 matches.

The Rams are just a point above the relegation zone and have recently appointed Steve McClaren as their manager.

Leeds United's manager Garry Monk

McClaren was sacked as the Derby boss just 17 months ago following the team’s failure to finish in the top six of the Championship during the 2014-15 campaign.

Leeds haven’t won back to back league games away to Derby since December 1960 when Jack Taylor was in charge of the Whites.
