Leeds United are set to take on Preston, Aston Villa, Rotherham, Derby County and Barnsley in their next five Championship matches.

With Leeds United in brilliant form, we attempt to predict the results of their next five league matches.

Preston North End (away) – 1-1 draw

Leeds will travel to Deepdale full of confidence, but Preston have been in good form themselves recently and go into the match on the back of a victory over Bristol City.

This looks set to be a close encounter, and both sides may end up cancelling each other out.

Aston Villa (away) – 2-1 defeat

Aston Villa Manager Steve Bruce

Leeds outplayed Villa at Elland Road recently, but Steve Bruce’s side will be determined to get some payback. This could be a tricky test for Leeds in front of what will be a vociferous crowd.

Rotherham United (home) – 3-0 win

Rotherham already look doomed, and it would be a major upset if Leeds don’t pick up the three points in this Yorkshire derby.

Derby County (home) 2-1 win

Derby County Manager Steve McClaren

Derby have picked up under Steve McClaren, but Elland Road is becoming a fortress for Leeds and they have the quality required to get the three points here.

Barnsley (away) 2-1 win

Barnsley have adapted to playing at Championship level fairly well since being promoted, but Leeds will feel confident of picking up a result at Oakwell.
