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

To be played on Saturday 17th December 2016 at 15:00. Venue: Elland Road, Leeds

Odds: Leeds 11/10, Draw 5/2, Brentford 23/10

Leeds United welcome Brentford to Elland Road on Saturday for their latest Championship fixture.

The Whites maintained their play-off push with a 2-0 victory against Reading earlier this week and they will be hoping to build more momentum heading into the Christmas and New Year period.

Leeds are sixth as things stand, with 35 points from 21 matches; and with just two points separating them and the Royals in third it is clearly all to play for among the promotion hopefuls in the months ahead.

As for Brentford, they are 14th with 28 points to date, but a few wins could quickly see them climb up the table.

In early team news, Leeds are without striker Chris Wood but Marcus Antonsson is expected to recover from an injury of his own.

Eunan O’Kane is still unavailable while Pablo Hernandez is unlikely to be risked having only just returned to training.

With all that in mind here is how we expect the two sides to line up on Saturday afternoon:
