The Yorkshire side sit in third place, just one point behind Sheffield United, with six games to go.

However, two defeats in Leeds’ last three games have rocked the club going into the final hurdles.

Fellow promotion contenders Sheffield United beat Leeds in March before relegation battlers Birmingham recorded a shock win over Marcelo Bielsa’s men at the weekend.

Preston had turned themselves into play-off spot dark horses but back-to-back defeats may have been fatal to their chances.

Alex Neil’s side know that a defeat to Leeds will all-but extinguish their hopes, and will approach the game hungry for points.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says...

One more slip for Leeds could be fatal for their chances of automatic promotion.

They will dominate the ball once again, but how effective they are in possession is an entirely different matter.

Patrick Bamford has missed glorious opportunities in recent games and simply must turn up if he is selected once again.

Prediction: Preston 1-2 Leeds
