Here is how we predict Leeds United will line up against Bristol City:

Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen looks on during the Sky Bet Championship match between Cardiff City and Leeds United at Cardiff City Stadium on September 26, 2017 in Cardiff, Wales.

Leeds United travel to Ashton Gate this weekend to take on Bristol City in their latest Championship clash.

The Whites are struggling for form, losing their last three league games and quickly losing the momentum they built up over the first few weeks of the campaign. But they will know that a couple of quick wins will ease the gloom currently looming over Elland Road.

Despite their poor form, Leeds are still sixth in the table, just six points off top spot after 12 matches, while Saturday’s opponents Bristol City are fourth as things stand, one point above the Whites heading into this clash.

Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen has come in for some criticism in recent weeks with his team selections, and it will be interesting to see who he opts to start this weekend.

Leeds certainly have the players to turn things around and get back to the top of the table this side of Christmas, but one senses it could take a stroke of good fortune to get them back on the right track.

Leeds are without the injured Caleb Ekuban but should have an otherwise clean bill of health, which makes for some potentially interesting team selections.

The ongoing attempts to put Pablo Hernandez and Samu Saiz in the same starting XI have failed thus far and it would be a surprise if both started this fixture.

With that in mind here is how we expect Leeds to line up against Bristol City on Saturday afternoon:
