"Realistically we need a victory but it’s not a must win game". Certainly not my words but a quote from PH

Venue...Elland Road... Date..18th Feb...Kick Off 16:30hrs

Team News
Leeds United
Samuel Saiz, Gaetano Berardi and Liam Cooper will all serve the last games of their various suspensions
Leeds boss Paul Heckingbottom will also be without Conor Shaughnessy due to an ankle injury which could require surgery. Deadline-day signing Tyler Roberts will be sent for another scan to determine the extent of his shin and ankle problem.
But there was some better news for Heckingbottom with Ouasim Bouy (ribs) and Kemar Roofe returning to training. Roofe has been through the concussion protocols following a head injury suffered against Sheffield United.

Bristol City
Nathan Baker serves the last game of his three-match ban as Bristol City look to bounce back from squandering a 3-0 lead against Sunderland in their last game. Italian defender Eros Pisano, who has not featured for the club since October 31, is back in training after a hamstring injury but is not yet ready for a return to action.
Striker Milan Djuric (groin) is due to return to England this weekend after seeing a specialist in Italy. And midfielder Gary O'Neil (hamstring) is also nearing a return to action for the first time since August after playing for an hour for the under-23 side on Tuesday.

Opta stats
Leeds have won each of their last six home matches against Bristol City in all competitions.
The Robins haven't won at Elland Road in the second tier since March 1921, losing nine of 10 visits since.
Leeds' run of six consecutive home wins in all competitions against Bristol City is their third longest current run, behind only their seven wins against Bournemouth and nine wins against Swansea.
Leeds have had just nine different goalscorers this season - the joint-fewest in the Championship (also Ipswich).
The Whites are winless in seven league games (D2 L5) - they last endured a longer such run back in November 2014.
Bristol City have lost two of their last three away league games, as many as in their previous 15 combined.

Hecky's first home game and hopefully it'll be his First Win Prutts is forecasting a 2-2 draw but he knows nowt
I'm predicting a 3-1 Win with Soggy getting his Hat Trick
