Leeds United went top of the Championship after winning at Middlesbrough on Tuesday. Saturday sees them host Preston North End who are 14th in the table. Can the Whites get three points closer to a return to the Premier League? Here's our match prediction.
By the time this game begins, Leeds might be down to second in the table. That will happen if Burnley avoid defeat against Norwich on Friday. Currently it's a tight battle for the two automatic promotion places with two points separating the top three.
Leeds are unbeaten in their last five league games Home form has produced 15 league wins with just one defeat. They have gone 17 unbeaten with 14 of them won. United have drawn three of their last four league fixtures but only one was played at Elland Road.
Preston are the draw experts in this division with 19 in their 41 games. They are seven points above the relegation zone but the gap should be wider. On Tuesday, they twice led Cardiff at home but drew 2-2 thanks to a 94th minute equalizer.
They have gone four league and cup games without a win. Away from home, Preston have only won three league games this season. We tip Leeds to win and lead at both half and full time.

Our Leeds vs Preston North End Prediction
Leeds can't afford to make any mistakes in the run-in. Of their final five league games, only one is against a side currently in the play-offs. They had a good win in midweek and will want to continue their unbeaten home league run at Elland Road.
Preston draw far too many games and still have slight relegation worries. Their away form is poor with ten league defeats this season. Our Leeds v Preston prediction is Leeds to win and lead at half and full time.
