Here is how we predict Fulham and Leeds United will line up this week:

To be played on Tuesday 7th March 2017 at 19:45. Venue: Craven Cottage, London

Odds: Fulham 10/11, Draw 23/10, Leeds 13/5

Leeds United travel to Craven Cottage on Tuesday evening to face Fulham in their latest Championship clash.

The Whites will be buzzing after their 3-1 victory away to Birmingham City last time out. However this clash is another test of their mettle with the business end of the campaign fast approaching.

Leeds are currently fourth in the table with 64 points, one point above Reading and one point below third-placed Huddersfield, and while they have built up quite a head of steam they will be well aware of the danger Fulham pose.

The Cottagers are now the closest challengers in terms of the sides directly below the play-off places and with a game in hand over Sheffield Wednesday they will be desperate to maintain their own fine form.

Leeds could make changes for this clash, especially when you consider the poor performance of Pablo Hernandez last time out – that is before his late moment of magic to set up a goal!

Alfonso Pedraza showed enough after coming off the bench last week to suggest he deserves a start here while Kemar Roofe also deserves to pay from the outset.

With all that in mind here is how we expect Leeds and Fulham to line up later this week:
