    Leeds Utd v Huddersfield Town
    Saturday 28th October@12:30 | Elland Road


    Fresh from their abysmal defeat at Stoke midweek, Leeds must regroup quickly for the visit of local rivals Huddersfield Town on Saturday lunchtime.

    This will be both sides third game in the space of a week, albeit Huddersfield have had an extra 24 hours to recover from their 4-0 home loss to Cardiff on Tuesday evening. Leeds may have a stronger squad, but like so many other teams, the Terriers are expected to suddenly up their game when facing the Whites.

    Recent results may favour Leeds, but as we know, local derbies can be wholly unpredictable. Leeds completed the double over their neighbours during the 2019/20 season, yet had lost their previous three. There are eight points and eighteen places between the two clubs, with Darren Moore's side hovering dangerous close to the drop zone, cushioned by a five point gap.

    Leeds fans (especially Emu) will be hoping that Junior Firpo, Stuart Dallas and Djed Spence will all see some action sometime soon. The trio have 10 minutes of game time between them, but Daniel Farke has been cautious not to use them until they are 100% fit.

    Charlie Cresswell, Joe Gelhardt and Leo Hjelde continue to be overlooked, having not even featured in any of Daniel Farke's recent matchday squads. Archie Gray looks set to continue at right-back in favour of Luke Ayling. The gaffer feels it's a less strenuous role. Crysencio Summerville and Dan James will fight it out with with Wilfred Gnonto and Jaidon Anthony for the respective wide positions, whilst Glen Kamara may be preferred over Ilia Gruev.

    The visitors will be without injured quartet Oliver Turton, Josh Ruffels, David Kasumu and Danny Ward. Josh Koroma may displace Delano Burgzorg, and join Kian Harratt up front. Tom Lees looks set to face his former club!

    Leeds 4-1 Huddersfield.

    We'll see a reaction from the lads. They'll put on a show.

    Not a fan of lunchtime kick offs as it just doesn't seem right for professional football.

    Expecting Farke to give Gruev another run out but it's also likely that Summerville and Dan James come back in.

    Automatic promotion is starting to seem along way off so the focus must be on getting enough points to secure that all important play off place and as winning a play off Final at Wembley is definitely on the bucket list it could turn out to be an absolutely thrilling way of getting back to where we belong.

    Gruev was useless last game. Suppose he has to be given a run out though.

    well having run my little random dice generator football scores prediction program 5 times, the favourite result is

    Leeds United 5 -2 Huddersfield Town (this was predicted twice)

    Also predicted a 5-1 and a 4-0 win for us, and very strangely a 0-3 defeat
