David Prutton has told Sky Sports that he expects Leeds United to beat Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday.

Leeds ride the crest of a wave into tomorrow’s clash after thumping West Brom 4-0 at Elland Road seven days ago.

It was one of the Whites’ best performances of the season, all things considered.

A few days earlier, Marcelo Bielsa’s side lost 1-0 at QPR in one of their most uninspiring displays under the Argentine.

But former Leeds midfielder Prutton expects his old side to make it back-to-back wins tomorrow.

He told Sky Sports: “Leeds answered their critics with an absolute bang against West Brom.

“They were superb last Friday night and will be feeling confident again heading to Ashton Gate. Away win for me.”

Victory is a must for the Whites, who slipped five points behind Championship leaders Norwich City tonight after the Canaries beat Swansea City 1-0.

Leeds can and must bring that gap back to two points as they look to stay in the automatic promotion places.

If they lose and Sheffield United win at home to Rotherham, the Elland Road side will drop out of the top two.
