Leeds United make the long trip south to face Plymouth Argyle in Saturday’s Sky Bet Championship lunchtime kick off.

It is the third time the sides have met in as many weeks and the fourth time overall this season, after the Pilgrims forced an FA Cup replay following January’s draw in the Fourth Round.

In a match made difficult by the conditions on the Devon coast, extra time strikes from Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter and a Ryan Hardie own goal saw the Whites progress, after Willy Gnonto's opener was cancelled out by Brendan Galloway in the second half.

The two sides have also met in the league this campaign, as goals from Dan James and Joel Piroe proved to be enough for United, despite Ben Waine's late consolation making it a nervy ending at Elland Road in November.

Daniel Farke’s side head into the clash in scintillating form, with a resounding 4-0 midweek victory at Swansea City making it seven consecutive wins in the league since the start of 2024.

Argyle go into the fixture sat 15th in the table, eight points clear of the drop zone in their first season back at this level.

Managed by former England Under-20 coach Ian Foster, the Pilgrims were denied the three points against Coventry City in cruel fashion during the week. Former Whites defender Liam Kitching grabbed a last-gasp equaliser six minutes into stoppage time at Home Park to rescue a point for the Sky Blues.

Since Foster's appointment in early January, the Devon outfit have picked up important wins against Cardiff City and Swansea City, with that draw against Coventry adding to a point picked up on the road at Huddersfield Town.

Kick-off on the South Coast this time around is at 12:30pm and supporter information can be found further down the page, as well as streaming information for fans around the world.
