Leeds United predicted to drop to third in Championship after this weekend – David Prutton
Leeds United take on Leicester City tonight aiming to cut the gap to the Foxes down to six points, but defeat would see them again facing a drop behind Southampton and Ipswich Town.
The Whites have their biggest game of the season so far at home to Leicester City tonight at Elland Road, looking to keep up their brilliant winning run by extending it to nine on the bounce.
Enzo Maresca’s Foxes pose a huge test for obvious reasons, but Leeds ought to be confident of at least preserving their home unbeaten run this season.
David Prutton predicts Leeds v Leicester
Sky Sports presenter David Prutton has issued his latest Championship predictions ahead of this weekend’s fixture list.
Starting with Leeds’ clash tonight, he believe that the Foxes will come away with a point from Elland Road in a 2-2 draw, thus putting an end to the eight-game winning streak:
“Leeds are in remarkable form. They have stormed into second place off the back of eight straight wins, conceding just a goal in that run. And have the chance to turn the screw and try and make a bit of a break from Ipswich and Southampton below them.
“Leicester still have a big gap, but that could start to look a little smaller if they are beaten here. They lost to Leeds in the reverse fixture, and are coming off the back of defeat at home to Middlesbrough. Will they be feeling a bit nervy? They may if Leeds take an early lead, but I’ll back a draw and a few goals here.”
