MATCH FACTS
Leeds have beaten Derby County three times this season - they've never beaten a side four times in a single season in their history.
20% of Derby's defeats in all competitions this season have been against Leeds United (three out of 15).
None of the previous 17 teams to lose the first leg of a second-tier play-off semi-final at home have progressed to the final.
Leeds have lost just two of their last 45 home matches in May in all competitions (W25 D18 L2), although one of those was in the League One play-offs in 2008 (2-1 v Carlisle United).
Derby have won just one of their last 10 away matches in all competitions (W1 D5 L4).
The team finishing third in the Championship haven't lost the home leg of the play-off semi-final since 2009-10, when Nottingham Forest lost 3-4 to Blackpool - third-place teams have won seven of their eight home legs since then (W7 D1 L0).
Across three Championship matches against Leeds this season, Derby have managed just 26 shots, six shots on target and one goal; in the home leg, the Rams failed to attempt an effort on target and had just two shots in the second half.


With MB saying "The first game was not simple for us, and we're sure that the next game won't be easy either."

and Limpard coming up a bit late with this message for his team ""I'm not worried about their players, I'm worried about mine and what they must do is give everything and not overstep the line by doing anything that could get them sent off "

It all points to another feisty encounter and one that could see a few flared tempers, hopefully Leeds can keep their cool and finish the job
A tight 2-1 for me with Bamford stepping up to the mark and rattling the net
