Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 3-1
Stoke City
Following a 1-1 draw with Huddersfield Town, Leeds United will look to climb to the automatic promotion berth when they take on Stoke City on Matchday 36. The Whites have been producing excellent displays at home this term and, as a result, the bookies see them as hot favourites to win the midweek game. Both Pascal Struijk and Stuart Dallas are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Potters, on the other hand, did well to beat Middlesbrough 2-0 in front of home fans, but that did not help the team escape the relegation zone. Given Stoke’s three-game losing run on the road, we predict that the promotion-chasing hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match. Jordan Thompson serves a one-game ban due to the accumulation of yellow cards, while fellow midfielder Luke McNally remains in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Jack Bonham):
Jack Bonham is a professional footballer who was born in Stevenage on the 14th of September, 1993. The 26-year-old, although having born in England, is an Irish International and has featured for the Republic of Ireland's Under-17 team five times.
At the club level, he began his youth career with Watford and signed his first professional contract in September 2010 at the age of 17. Bonham's first-ever professional appearance came on the 4th of May, 2013 as a substitute against Leeds United in the final game of the 12/13 Championship season.
This appearance marked the 1.92 m standing goalkeeper's only appearance in a Watford shirt. Bonham then went on to play for clubs like Brentford, Carlisle United and Bristol Rovers before eventually joining Gillingham at the start of the 2019 season on a two-year contract. He's since featured nine times for the club and kept two clean sheets.
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.
