Leeds United vs Leicester City Prediction: Leed's victory can make Championship title race interesting

Leeds United will welcome Leicester City at Elland Road in Game Week 34 of the English Championship. A Leed's victory can make the Championship title race interesting. Who will come out on top after 90 minutes?

Leeds United form

With an impressive home record of being unbeaten in 16 league games, Leeds faces a tough challenge against Leicester, who have the best away record in the Championship. However, Leeds' recent run of eight consecutive league wins has put them within nine points of Leicester and has the potential to change the dynamics of the race. Despite being frustrated with their second-place standing on goal difference, Leeds has shown relentless form since the start of the year, conceding only one goal in their last eight games. 

None of Leeds' five injured players will be able to play in this upcoming game, which means Patrick Bamford won't be an option for selection. There is a chance that the starting lineup will stay the same, with Daniel James possibly remaining on the bench due to Wilfried Gnonto's impressive recent performances. 

Leeds United Predicted Lineup

Leeds United's potential starting lineup includes Meslier, Gray, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Gruev, Kamara, Gnonto, Rutter, Summerville, and Piroe.

Leicester City form

So far this season, Leicester has been dominating the Championship title race, putting themselves in a strong position for promotion to the Premier League. While Leicester has won 12 of their 16 away games and have been strong in recent victories, a surprise defeat at home to Middlesbrough has added a level of competitiveness to the title race. Leicester must now refocus as doubt enters the equation for the first time this season, despite having a strong overall record. One of their five league defeats this season came at the hands of Leeds in their previous meeting, with Leeds winning 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.

Leicester will welcome back Kelechi Iheanacho after his absence at the Africa Cup of Nations, but Wilfried Ndidi is out with an injury and Ben Nelson is doubtful. 

Leicester City Predicted Lineup

Leicester City's possible starting lineup features Hermansen, Pereira, Faes, Vestergaard, Justin, Winks, Dewsbury-Hall, Fatawu, Praet, McAteer, and Daka.
