Preview: Swansea City vs Leeds United
A trip to Wales for the Whites.
Leeds United will be looking to make it seven consecutive league wins in 2024 as they travel to Swansea City on Tuesday evening (7:45pm), at the Swansea.com Stadium.
Patrick Bamford's opener gave the Whites the lead after 10 minutes against Rotherham United in last weekend's Sky Bet Championship clash.
A quick-fire second half brace from Crysencio Summerville wrapped up the three points in style, to keep up the excellent start to the new year for United.

Results elsewhere sees Daniel Farke’s side sit in third place in the table, remaining just a point behind Southampton in the race to be in the top two places.
Swansea go into the fixture on the back of an impressive 1-0 victory at Hull City thanks to Liam Cullen’s winner at the MKM Stadium. The result leaves the Welsh outfit 16th in the standings.
The two sides have already met once this campaign, with Leeds running out 3-1 victors in November’s midweek clash.
A whirlwind start at Elland Road saw Joel Piroe score against his former employers to cancel out Jamie Paterson's opener, before superbly taken goals from Georginio Rutter and Dan James completed the victory.
