THE race for the Premier League is really hotting up.
Leeds were huge odds-on favourites for promotion before Christmas when opening up an eleven point gap to the chasing pack, but Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been on a horror run of form.

Their 2-0 defeat against Nottingham Forest at the weekend has left them level on points with Fulham, while Brentford can leapfrog the Whites with three points here.
The Bees are enjoying a terrific season and are looking for a third victory on the spin.

What time is kick-off?
THIS huge Championship clash is set for Tuesday, February 11.
Kick-off at Griffin Park will be at 7.45pm.
When Leeds visited here last season, they left empty-handed after a 2-0 defeat.
Infact the visitors have lost on their last three visits to West London – and haven’t won here in the last SEVENTY years.
Which TV channel and live stream can I watch on?
YOU can catch all of the action live on the Sky Sports Red Button.
Swansea vs QPR is the feature game on Sky Sports Football, where coverage will begin at 7.30pm.
From 7.40pm, head to channel 403 and hit the red button on your Sky remote, selecting Brentford vs Leeds from the menu.
Sadly this game won’t be available to stream for Sky Go or NOW TV customers.
But for a one-off cost of £9.99, you can purchase an iFollow pass from Leeds’ official website to stream all the action from Griffin Park.
What is the team news?
LEEDS could be set to drop Patrick Bamford to the bench in favour of new-boy Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The French striker looked lively against Forest in a twenty minute cameo and Bielsa might have to make the change with no goals in two games.
Tyler Roberts is out for the Whites, while Kalvin Phillips is set to return to action after suspension.
Former Leeds defender Pontus Jansson is set to sit this one out having missed the last two months with a hip problem.
Brentford have no new injury concerns though and could name the same XI which saw off Middlesbrough 3-2 on Saturday.
