Our prediction for this Championship match:
Buoyed by a thrilling come-from-behind win over Swansea City, Leeds United will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Luton Town on Wednesday evening. The Whites are eyeing their third consecutive win in the Championship and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Israel international Manor Solomon, who scored a brace against the South Wales outfit, while both Ethan and Ilia Gruev remain on the sidelines with injuries. Defender Junior Firpo will serve the last of his three-game ban.
The Hatters, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Hull City. Luton Town, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the promotion hopefuls. Shandon Baptiste limped off with injury in the last league match, with Jordan Clark likely to step up.
Highlighted Team (Leeds United):
Leeds United is one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites.
Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash.
The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
