LEEDS welcome Fulham to Elland Road for the biggest game so far in this season’s Championship promotion race.
Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites are seven points clear of the Cottagers going into this one and victory would be a huge step towards the Premier League.

Both sides suffered defeats on their return to action, with Fulham going down 2-0 at home to Brentford and Leeds losing by the same scoreline at Cardiff.
Scott Parker’s side beat the hosts earlier on in the season and will throw the race for automatic promotion back open if they can repeat the trick.
