This is how we predict Leeds United and Burton Albion will line up this weekend:

To be played on Saturday 22nd April 2017 at 14:00. Venue: Pirelli Stadium, Burton

Odds: Burton Albion 7/4, Draw 11/5, Leeds 11/8

Leeds United take on Burton Albion on Saturday with the Whites desperate to get back to winning ways.

Garry Monk’s side look certain to end the season in the play-off places but a poor run of form, coupled with Fulham’s ongoing resilience, has seen Leeds slip down to seventh place with time running out.

Whatever the Cottagers do between now and the end of the campaign, it is up to Leeds to win their remaining fixtures and hope for the best, starting with the trip to Burton.

Nigel Clough’s side are 19th in the table with 48 points from 43 matches, and with just four points separating them from the bottom three they will be desperate for a victory of their own.

Burton will have to do without key player Luke Murphy, who is ineligible to play against his parent club, while Leeds could recall Eunan O’Kane after their setback against Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out.

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