Leeds United face Luton Town in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday lunchtime, in a match which is live on Sky Sports for fans not in attendance.

Daniel Farke’s side are looking to return to winning ways in Bedfordshire, after a last-gasp leveller from Swansea City last weekend saw both teams take a point from the game.

The result made it back-to-back 2-2 draws for the Whites and they will now be looking to find a winning formula, having dropped to second in the league standings.

For Luton, they come into the game with three wins in their last five outings, most notably defeating relegation rivals Hull City away from home last time out.

Having returned to the second tier following a year at Premier League level, the Hatters have struggled to readapt and find themselves 23rd in the table.

However, newly appointed manager Matt Bloomfield has reason for optimism, with his side now just two points away from pulling themselves out of the danger zone.

Both teams have well-known strikers at this level who regularly cause defences problems. For Saturday’s hosts, Carlton Morris has scored seven this season and will be looking to add to his tally, whereas Joel Piroe has 15 up to this point.

Each side could move upwards in the league standings if they can secure a victory this weekend. The Hatters have an opportunity to move as high as 20th, whereas Farke’s side will be looking to reclaim top-spot, albeit both outcomes depend on results elsewhere in the league.

Kick-off at Kenilworth Road is at 12:30pm and for supporters who are not travelling to the game, or without access to watch, you can find more information on how to follow the action further down the page.
