Preview: Leeds United v Fulham
We preview Saturday's fixture.
Leeds United entertain Fulham at Elland Road on Saturday, in what can only be described a as a huge 'six pointer'. Fulham currently sit in fourth spot, seven points behind the Whites, with eight games remaining. A Cottagers win would pull the London side right into the automatic promotion race, but a victory for Marcelo Bielsa's side would all but end Fulham's automatic promotion hopes. At Craven Cottage earlier in the season, Scott Parker's side ran out winners and Leeds will be looking for revenge this time around.

The key battle
Ben White v Aleksandar Mitrovic
Striker Mitrovic is the joint leading marksman in the division with 23 goals to his name. He was on the score-sheet in the reverse fixture earlier in the season and will be looking to add to his tally at Elland Road. Leeds defender Ben White will be looking to keep the Serbian at bay, with a commanding performance in defence.
