Leeds United return to Sky Bet Championship action on Saturday, as they welcome Yorkshire rivals Hull City to Elland Road for a 3pm clash.
Daniel Farke’s side will be keen to make it successive victories over local opposition, after a dominant display against Sheffield Wednesday continued the unbeaten start to the new campaign.
After a defensively sound display at The Hawthorns in the goalless draw against West Bromwich Albion, United were at their creative best at Hillsborough, with Brenden Aaronson and Dan James amongst the goals to secure the win.
Spanish Under-21 international was heavily involved in Aaronson’s opener, before playing a sublime through-ball for James to seal the points, in what was a very impressive display from the young forward.
The start to Tim Walter’s tenure at Hull City has seen the Tigers draw all three of their matches so far this season.
A late penalty from forward Óscar Estupiñán rescued a point against Bristol City in the opener, before former Leeds defender Lewie Coyle earned his side the share of the spoils against Plymouth Argyle with a second-half strike.
Most recently, the Tigers were unable to break down a resolute Millwall side as it finished goalless at the MKM Stadium.
The last time the teams met proved to be a memorable evening at Elland Road, with Dan James’ half-way line goal deep into stoppage time the highlight in a 3-1 victory for the Whites.
Action from Elland Road gets underway at 3pm.
