Prediction: 2-0
Birmingham City
Buoyed by a 3-0 win over Preston, Leeds United will be looking to give fans yet another reason for celebration when they take on Birmingham City at their Elland Road on Saturday afternoon. The Whites impressed in the midweek fixture and, no doubt, they are high on confidence ahead of the visit of the Blues. A man to watch in the home team will be Tyler Roberts, who scored a brace in the 3-0 victory over the Lilywhites. Birmingham City, on the other hand, shared the spoils with each of their previous four rivals in the Championship, but they would be happy with one point from Saturday’s football match as well. However, seeing that the Whites have been impressive at home ground so far this season, we are tempted to put our money on Marcelo Bielsa’s troops in this one.
