Leeds United will welcome West Bromwich Albion to Elland Road in the EFL Championship on Saturday. Leeds are at the top of the standings and have a 24-point lead over fifth-placed West Brom.
The hosts extended their winning streak in the league to five games earlier this week, with a 3-1 away triumph over Sheffield United. Illan Meslier's own goal gave Sheffield the lead in the 14th minute and late goals from Junior Firpo, Ao Tanaka, and Joël Piroe helped them register a comeback win.
The visitors returned to winning ways after two games last week with a 2-0 home win over Oxford United. Alex Mowatt broke the deadlock in the 11th minute and John Swift doubled their lead in the 11th minute of stoppage time.
