Leeds United return to Sky Bet Championship action as they travel to Ashton Gate to face Bristol City, in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off.
The Whites head into the clash in the West Country in fine form, unbeaten in their last six and winning four during that time.
Daniel Farke’s side returned from the international break in style, putting on a superb display as they beat Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United 2-0 under the Elland Road lights, courtesy of goals from Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph.
A quick turnaround between fixtured then saw Leeds host Watford, where Largie Ramazani and Brenden Aaronson’s early strikes proved to be the difference, despite the Hornets halving the deficit after the break.
Results elsewhere leaves United third in the standings, having picked up seven more points than 10th-placed Bristol City.
The Robins, similarly, are also unbeaten in their last six in the league, though four of those matches have ended all square.
Last time out, Bristol held Stoke to a 2-2 draw away at the bet365 Stadium, with a quickfire brace from experienced forward Nahki Wells rescuing a point for his side, who had trailed by two goals inside the opening 15 minutes in Staffordshire.
The Whites’ last visit to Ashton Gate saw Farke’s side claim all three points, with Willy Gnonto’s second half strike proving the difference on the night in February.
Action from the West Country gets underway at 12:30pm.
