Leeds United talking points ahead of Championship trip to Watford on Tuesday
Leeds United may have lost in the FA Cup over the weekend but their last defeat in the Championship was back in November, some 13 league fixtures ago.
Chance to pressurise Leeds have the opportunity to open up a five-point gap to second-placed Sheffield United with a win on Tuesday. The Blades do not play until Wednesday, with the tricky Middlesbrough set to visit Bramall Lane. Strongest team United fans travelling down to Watford may see Daniel Farke field his strongest XI. With Pascal Struijk back from injury and Joe Rodon fine to play despite sitting out the defeat to Millwall, Ethan Ampadu can push forward into midfield.
Roadtrip results It has been more than a month since Leeds recorded back-to-back away wins, partly due to the scheduling but also due to draws against Hull City and Burnley. United rounded off 2024 with three points against Stoke City and then Derby County in the final two matches of the year.
