Leeds are undefeated in the Championship this year, having recorded 11 wins and one draw from 12 outings. The Whites saw their ten game winning run in the league come to and with a 1-1 draw away to Huddersfield Town earlier this month. But the Peacocks quickly bounced back with back-to-back victories over Stoke City and Sheffield Wednesday. Last Saturday, Danile Farke’s side put two goals past the Owls without reply at Hillsborough thanks to Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gronto. It was their 24th second tier victory of the season. Moreover, Leeds boast the best home-record in the league this term, collecting 46 points from 18 games at Elland Road so far.
Millwall, on the other hand, have managed to climb out of the relegation zone courtesy of collecting ten points from a possible 12. After back-to-back wins over fourth-placed Southampton and Watford, the Lions shared the spoils with Blackburn Rovers on March 6. But Neil Harris’ men took all three points against Birmingham in the dying minutes last weekend, thanks to Japhet Tangana’s winner in the 90th-minute. After losing three successive away-games in the league across January and February, the Lions managed to pocket four points from their last two fixtures on the road.
Leeds United probable starting lineup: Meslier, Gray, Ampadu, Rodon, Firpo, Gruev, Kamara, Gnonto, Rutter, Summerville, Bamford
Millwall probable starting lineup: Sarkic, Leonard, Tanganga, Cooper, Bryan, Honeyman, Saville, Mitchell, Watmore, Flemming, Obafemi
