Watford, meanwhile, have fallen down the standings, managing just one win since their emphatic opening-day win. Valerien Ismael's side opened their campaign with a 4-0 victory over QPR, but that proved to be a false dawn.
Leeds have been the draw specialists in the league (four), so expect the trend to continue in a low-scoring stalemate.
