PRE-MATCH STATS
Leeds are looking to complete their first league double over Stoke since the 1988-89 campaign.
Stoke have won just two of their last 30 away games against Leeds in all competitions (W2 D8 L20), drawing 2-2 in the League Cup earlier this season before progressing on penalties.
Leeds have conceded just one goal in their last five Championship games at Elland Road (W4 D1) – indeed, they have conceded fewer goals in home games than any other side in the competition this season (14).
Stoke are winless in their last six away games in the Championship (D3 L3), with their last victory on the road coming back in January against West Brom.
Patrick Bamford has netted 15 goals for Leeds in the Championship this season, and is just two shy of equalling his previous-most in a second tier campaign (17 in 2014-15 for Middlesbrough).
There we have it, Stoke will believe they can make life difficult for us after banging in 4 against Barnsley last time out, Hopefully their confidence will be misplaced and we'll carry on where we left off against Blackburn.....................I'm going for a 2-1 Home Win with Harrison and White getting the goals (White from a corner )

I hope people do realise this isn't supposed to happen, we're supposed to lose just to keep a few happy!.
And playing Demolition Man is so not Leeds United!.
Yawn, getting a bit boring now!.

Could virtually be over Sunday if Derby do us a favour Saturday.
Come on Derby. Rooney can have my hair if they win!

There is no reason why this team can't do to Brentford what they're doing to others!..
Just because they're having a good run doesn't mean we should roll over!..
Before the break we'd won 5 on the bounce, if the break hadn't have come along we could have won all right to the seasons end, who knows?..
This team is as good as any in this league, but they don't seem to get the credit they deserve, and that is strange, because it seems to be our own that discredit them most of the time!..
Swansea for us is just another game, the same as Derby is to Brentford and Blackburn are to West Brom!..

Well, I started with a migraine one hour before KO. I would normally take a pill and go to bed, but I couldnt miss watching the game (and we’d paid for it on Now TV!) I wore my sunglasses as light really hurts, but it was well worth it. What a display from the lads. Only 4 more wins to go. Hopefully I’ll feel better when we play Swansea.
