Match Facts
Preston have won one of their last eight league matches against Leeds (W1 D2 L5), winning 3-1 in this exact fixture last season.
Leeds are looking to complete only their fourth league double over Preston, also doing so in 1924-25, 2004-05 and 2016-17.
Preston have not lost three consecutive league matches since September 2018 (a run of four).
Leeds United have only lost consecutive league matches once this campaign, losing to Hull City in December and Nottingham Forest on New Year's Day.
The last four league goals Preston have conceded have been scored between the 30th and 36th minutes (32nd, 30th, 36th, 33rd).
Pablo Hernandez has been involved in 23 league goals for Leeds United this season (12 goals, 11 assists) and has scored four of Leeds' last five Championship goals.


Another difficult game with Preston just adrift of the playoffs and us looking to keep the pressure on 2nd spot I'm gpoing for a tight 1-2 scoreline with Roofey and Roberts getting the Goals, sorry but I've not got a lot of faith in Bamford

Pub for this one. It’s on Sky Sports Action if anyone doesn’t know.

Win a must to put pressure on Shef U tomorrow.

Enjoy!

I’m going 2-0 Leeds with Bamford getting both.

Watched tonight on my iPad in Tenerife. It’s OK being able to watch for £5 when abroad! Feel sooooo much better than Saturday night. Come on Leeds, let’s finish the season as we started it - on fire!!!

Agreed re nerves, you could see it when they went down to 10 men, hope Bielsa keeps them focussed. Would be great if he could get Strachan in to talk to them...

Who do you suggest to translate?

Should have been Hattrick Bamford tonight, nice to see him on the score sheet!

Advantage back to Leeds, 2 points ahead of Blunts!

I didn't see any nerves today.

Not at all. They looked calm and composed all game. Some looked frustrated but overall, they looked fine to me.

I think we now have a plan b with Bamford fit.

We can play our normal passing game but also mix it up a little if teams play a high back line. We hit it long to Bamford a few times last night. One time he got their player sent off and another he should have got his third had he not got his studs caught in the turf (knackered at that point I think).

He gives us that option because he can play off the last defender and also bring others into play. Much as I think Roberts is OK I’d love to see Roofe playing off Bamford. I think we would create much more around the oppositions box.
