Leeds United extended their lead at the top of the Championship table with a comfortable victory over Coventry City, putting pressure on Sheffield United and Sunderland who face crucial home games this weekend. Leeds' win now leaves them five points clear of both Burnley and Sheffield United.
The pressure is on Sheffield United and Sunderland in the Championship promotion race this weekend after Leeds United moved five points clear at the top of the table in midweek.
After passing that test, Daniel Farke's side face second-tier opposition again in Millwall on Saturday lunchtime. However, that is their FA Cup fourth-round tie at Elland Road rather than the reverse fixture against the Lions, which is next month. They will, however, still be in action on Saturday as they fulfil their game in hand on the Whites and the Clarets. Both Sunderland and Sheffield United are at home, with Regis Le Bris' side taking on Watford in the early kick-off at the Stadium of Light, while Chris Wilder's Blades host Portsmouth at Bramall Lane in a 3pm kick-off.
