Here is how we predict Leeds United and Cardiff City will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 11th February 2017 at 15:00. Venue: Elland Road, Leeds

Odds: Leeds 1/1, Draw 11/5, Cardiff 5/2

Leeds United welcome Cardiff City to Elland Road on Saturday for their latest Championship clash.

The Whites will be looking to get back to winning ways after losing 2-1 away to Huddersfield last time out and with home advantage they should have too much for the Bluebirds.

Leeds United manager Garry Monk before the match

Leeds are currently fifth in the table with 54 points from 30 matches while Cardiff are way down in 17th place with 36 points as things stand.

They will be desperate for the victory but Leeds cannot afford any more slip ups in the next few weeks as they continue their push for promotion back to the top flight.

Cardiff manager Neil Warnock

Leeds are still without Charlie Taylor due to injury but it will be interesting to see which of their many wingers take to the field after Mo Barrow and Alfonso Pedraza joined at the end of last month.

It would be no surprise if both started, with Stuart Dallas and Souleymane Doukara dropping to the bench in the process.
