Leeds United sit at the top of the table with 51 points from 24 matches. The Yorkshire side are on a six-game unbeaten run, including back-to-back away victories against Stoke City and Derby County.

With injuries to key players such as Ilia Gruev, Joe Gelhardt, Junior Firpo, and Maximilian Wober, Leeds’ depth and strong defensive forms, particularly from Jayden Bogle, Joe Rodon, Patrick Struijk, and Sam Byram, remain notable.

The predicted starting lineup for Leeds (4-2-3-1) includes Meslier in goal, supported by Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Byram, Ampadu, Tanaka, James, Aaronson, Gnonto, and Joseph.

Blackburn Rovers, currently fifth in the standings with 38 points, have struggled with consistency.

They are winless in their last three matches, with their latest outing ending in a 1-0 home defeat to Hull City. Injuries have further hindered Blackburn, with key players such as Arnor Sigurdsson, Harry Pickering, Hayden Carter, Scott Wharton, Zak Gilsenan, and Lewis Travis unavailable.

Their predicted lineup (4-2-3-1) includes Pears in goal, alongside Brittain, Hyam, Batth, Beck, Baker, Tronstad, Cantwell, Dolan, Hedges, and Ohashi.

Leeds, buoyed by strong form and home advantage, are expected to dominate the encounter. Blackburn, while resilient, face a significant challenge in overcoming Leeds’ dynamic and cohesive attack.

The home side’s momentum and tactical strength make them strong favorites to secure another win in their push for automatic promotion.
