Prediction: 3-1
Swansea
All eyes will be on Elland Road when Leeds and Swansea go head to head in the Championship round 18. Following three consecutive league wins, the Whites shared the spoils with Rotherham United at the weekend to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive. Leeds aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Swans. All Cooper, Dallas and Spence are sidelined with injuries, while Patrick Bamford is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The South Wales outfit, on the other hand, failed to win the previous three league matches, with the team dropping to 17th place in the standings. Considering that Leeds United are on a five-game winning run at home in all competitions, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from the match. The likes of Ashby, Kukharevych, Ginnelly, Wood, Ogbeta, Allen, Abdulai, and Benda miss out with injuries for the away team.
