Four games to go and Leeds United lead Sheffield United by three points in the battle for automatic promotion to the Premier League. Last week saw Leeds beat Sheffield Wednesday at home while Sheffield United could only draw at home with Millwall conceding a 95th minute equalizer. This Friday, Leeds host struggling Wigan while their promotion rivals are home to Nottingham Forest. Leeds play their game later than the Blades and will start the game against Wigan back in third if United win. Leeds United will be confident of three home points though to make it three league wins in a row. Five of the last six home league games have been won 

Wigan Athletic are one place above the relegation zone and two points clear of Rotherham United with a much better goal difference. The Latics keep on getting relegated and then promoted again the following season, another relegation this season is still a possibility due to their poor away form. They haven't won on their travels since August and have just seven points on the road this season compared to 35 at home. With just three points from their last ten away league games, Leeds can get a vital home win.
