A look ahead to the Friday night football.

Leeds United travel away from home on Friday evening (8pm), taking on Leicester City, live on Sky Sports.

The Whites travel to the King Power Stadium to take on the Sky Bet Championship table-toppers, in what will be game number 15 of the season for each side.

Last time out, Daniel Farke’s side claimed an impressive three points in the West Yorkshire derby at home to Huddersfield Town.

Both Daniel James and Crysencio Summerville netted twice each in the first half to send their side in with a commanding four-goal advantage at the break, which was enough to claim the points.

Under the guidance of manager Enzo Maresca, the Foxes have been flying high this season. After relegation from the Premier League last year, they have adjusted superbly to life in the Championship.

Having left the coaching staff of Premier League champions Manchester City to take over in the East Midlands, Maresca has guided his side to 13 wins from 14 matches, scoring 29 goals in the process, which has put them five points clear at the top.

Whatever the outcome on Friday night, neither team will change position at full-time, but the points would be welcome for each side in the battle at the top end of the table.

Kick-off at the King Power Stadium is at 8pm and supporters attending the game can find further information below, whilst fans not attending can follow the game in a number of ways, too!
