Team News
Leeds United
Leeds will be without midfielder Pablo Hernandez and striker Jean-Kevin Augustin for the trip to south Wales. Hernandez had a setback in preparation for the Championship's resumption and is scheduled to return to training next Wednesday. Adam Forshaw still out and not expected to start again this season.
Cardiff City
Cardiff boss Neil Harris would not disclose who was unavailable for his team's clash with Championship leaders Leeds on Sunday. The Welsh side sit ninth in the table but are only two points adrift of Preston in the final play-off place with nine matches remaining.
Harris did not want to give Marcelo Bielsa any ideas of his line-up as he kept his cards close to his chest during his pre-match press conference. Greg Cunningham returned to training on Tuesday after a lengthy knee injury so is unlikely to be risked, while Harris hinted Joe Bennett is set to start at left-back ahead of Brad Smith.

Match Facts
This is the first league meeting between Cardiff and Leeds at the Cardiff City Stadium since September 2017, a 3-1 win for the Bluebirds under Neil Warnock.
Leeds have taken just one point from their last four league games against Cardiff (D1 L3), drawing 3-3 having been 3-0 up in the reverse fixture this season.
This will be the first time Cardiff have hosted Leeds for a match on a Sunday since winning 2-1 in an FA Cup tie at Ninian Park in January 2002 when Leeds were top of the Premier League.
Leeds have won each of their last five league games without conceding a single goal. The Whites have achieved this feat on four other previous occasions, most recently in December 2009 - they have never won six straight league games without conceding.
Cardiff have picked up six draws in their last eight league games on home soil (W1 D1) - no side has drawn more home games in the Championship this season (8).
Leeds have won more points from their last six games (16) than any other Championship team.
There you have it then, quite a tough game to start the run in to the end of the season but i think we have the fitness and quality to nick this one, I'm going for 2-1 to Leeds (no surprise there then )

No, hence me saying the quote I meant to reply to was your other statement.
Try to keep up.

Think the quote is spot on actually, you are only as good as your last game.

Turned it off at 2 nil, game was lost so didn't see Poveda. Half tempted to bring Pablo in for Bamford and play Roberts up top. Garbage display today from front to back although after a 14 week lay off, some slack must be given.

Didn't see much from Roberts that made me think he played any better than Bamford.
Poveda looked alright. The lack of options on the bench is worrying,.

Complete poor team performance today.
Sluggish right from the start. Poor passing, no energy or spark.
Two major mistakes lead to cracker shot goals.
Dallas the only player to emerge with a positive rating in this game.
Did travel arrangements take too much out of the team?
Always a tough place to visit, would’ve have grabbed a draw before the game began.
Let’s hope for better next week!
Thanks Highland.
