At Elland Road in west Yorkshire, Leeds United will be eager to take all three points in Tuesday night’s clash with Derby County in order to maintain their play-off ambition at the expense of tonight’s visitors.

Leeds still remain in fifth place in the Championship despite some ordinary results recently which have seen Thomas Christiansen’s side lose four of their last five overall, with a 3-0 win away at Bristol City saving their blushes in recent weeks. However, defeats to Cardiff City, Sheffield Wednesday, Reading and Sheffield United – the latter two being on home turf, won’t have done their confidence any favours.

After a promising five match unbeaten run at Elland Road, Leeds have since slumped to back-to-back defeats, with the transfer of former striker Chris Wood to Premier League Burnley no doubt starting to have an effect.

Visitors Derby County extended their unbeaten run to six league matches in the Championship on the weekend when they registered all three points in a 2-1 win at Norwich City and The Rams are now within striking distance of the play-off pack, knowing all three points this evening could lift them as high as fourth place.

Derby bring a three-match winning streak into tonight’s encounter on the back of wins over Nottingham Forest and Sheffield Wednesday as well as the aforementioned Norwich win, and their performances away from home have also improved in recent weeks as they’ve collected points on the road with draws at Brentford and Cardiff City.

Derby’s away record reads  2-3-2  8/11 and manager, Garry Rowett, has the likes of Vydra (6 goals) and Nugent (4 goals) up front who should cause the Leeds defence a few problems.
