Neil Redfearn has tipped Leeds United to beat Millwall today.

Marcelo Bielsa’s side host the Londoners at Elland Road this afternoon, knowing that victory is essential.

If Leeds lose and second-placed Sheffield United win at home to Bristol City, the Whites will be four points adrift of the automatic promotion spots with seven games to play.

That would make it an uphill task for Leeds, but Redfearn, who managed the club during the 2014-15 campaign, is backing his former side to pick up the three points today.

Bielsa could have the luxury of naming Pontus Jansson in the first XI again, despite picking up a knee injury against the Blades last time out.

Jansson was meant to miss the visit of Millwall and next week’s trip to Birmingham City, but The Yorkshire Evening Post has reported that he should be available today.

The game kicks off at 3pm.
