Leeds United travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City in Friday evening’s Sky Bet Championship clash, live on Sky Sports (8pm).

The Whites go into the fixture in strong league form, having won all four of their matches since the start of the New Year.

Back-to-back 3-0 victories over Birmingham City and Cardiff City got the month off to the perfect start for Daniel Farke’s side, before battling displays against Preston North End and Norwich City saw United pick up more valuable wins.

Sky Bet Championship action was put to one side last weekend for Emirates FA Cup Fourth Round duties. A late Plymouth Argyle equaliser saw the Greens earn a replay at Home Park, after Jaidon Anthony's stunning first-half effort had put Leeds a goal to the good.

City go into Friday’s clash sat 13th in the Sky Bet Championship standings, after picking up a positive 2-2 draw away at Coventry City during the week.

Goals from Rob Dickie and Nahki Wells had put the Robins on course to get three points at the Coventry Building Society Arena, before Ellis Simms rescued a point for the hosts late on.

The sides have already met once this season, with Joel Piroe’s second-half strike proving to be the winner in the 2-1 victory at Elland Road.

Kick-off at Ashton Gate is at 8pm and further supporter information can be found further down the page, as well as streaming information for fans around the world.
