Leeds United host Watford on Saturday afternoon, as Sky Bet Championship action returns to Elland Road (3pm).
The Whites come into the game on the back of a five match unbeaten run, which includes three clean sheets in a row.
Wednesday’s goalless draw at Hull City moved Daniel Farke’s side into ninth place in the standings, with 10 points from the first seven games, with two wins and three draws in the last five.
Watford come into the clash having had a similar start to the season and on a recent unbeaten run of three matches. An entertaining 2-2 draw in midweek at home to West Bromwich Albion has put the Hornets 14th in the table, but just one point behind Leeds.
Valerien Ismael’s side have won two, drawn three and lost two from their opening seven, scoring 11 goals and conceding seven along the way.
After both arriving towards the end of the summer transfer, each side has seen a striker hit the ground running for their new team and they’ve quickly gone to the top of the scoring charts this season.
Joel Piroe has three goals in four games for Leeds since arriving from Swansea, whilst Mileta Rajovic has an identical record for Watford having joined from Kalmar FF this summer.
This fixture was last played home and away in the 2021/22 Premier League campaign. The Whites won both times, keeping clean sheets in each match as well.
