Leeds United and Preston North End will face each other in the Championship this weekend.
Preston North End will return to action this weekend when they take on Leeds United away from home in the Championship.
The Lilywhites will head into the match at Elland Road on the back of a 5-0 victory over Bristol City at Deepdale in the league.
Simon Grayson’s side are making a late push for the playoffs, and they will be looking to pick up at least a point against Leeds.
The former Leeds manager is fully aware of how tough it is going to be for his team to win at Elland Road.
Grayson has picked two Leeds players who he believes are going to be major threats to his team.
“Leeds are strong at home and we need to make it difficult for them,” Grayson told The Lancashire Post. “When you look at their team, the big threat which jumps straight out at you is Chris Wood, the leading scorer in the division.
“Wood is a handful and we’ll have to watch him. Pablo Hernandez is a clever player and they have a lot of experience in their squad. They seem to be quite secure at the back but they are not unbeatable.”
Leeds will head into the match against Preston as favourites, and it will be a surprise if they fail to pick up a single point from the encounter.
Garry Monk’s side have lost their last two league matches, but they have a good record at home and will be determined to bounce back in style.
New Zealand international striker Chris Wood has scored 24 goals and provided two assists for Leeds so far this season.
Attacking midfielder Pablo Hernandez, who can also operate as a winger, has scored four goals and created 78 chances in 29 league matches for the Whites so far this campaign.
