Leeds secured their tenth league win of the season against Swansea on Wednesday night thanks to Joel Piroe’s fourth-minute equaliser, Georginio Rutter’s effort on the stroke of half time and Danile James’s strike on the hour mark. The result extended their unbeaten run to five games in the second tier, scoring 11 goals and conceding just four times in the period. Meanwhile, Danile Farke’s side have been solid at Elland Road, as they are the only team in the Championship not to lose on familiar territory. The Whites have won each of their last six outings in front of their own supporters, scoring 15 goals and conceding just four in the process.
Middlesbrough, on the other hand, put four goals past Preston on Tuesday night thanks to Isiah Jones’ brace and one goal each from Rav van de Berg and Alex Bangura. It was their eighth second tier victory of the season, and all those wins have come since the September 23, from their last 11 outings. Meanwhile, Michael Carrick’s side have been decent on the road, taking ten points from their last five away games in the second tier. Boro had been on a five-game unbeaten run on their travels before losing out to Bristol City at Ashton Gate on Saturday.
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Meslier, Gray, Rodon, Cooper, Byram, Ampadu, Kamara, James, Piroe, Summerville, Rutter
Middlesbrough probable starting lineup: Dieng, Dijksteel, Van den Berg, McNair, Bangura, Howson, Barlaser, Jones, Crooks, Rogers, Lath
