Preview: Leeds United vs Hull City

Whites back in Sky Bet Championship action.

Leeds United host Hull City in the second part of Easter’s Sky Bet Championship double header, with a chance to make it 15 matches unbeaten since the turn of the year.

Daniel Farke’s side had to dig deep to earn a point away at Watford on Friday, with substitute Mateo Joseph grabbing a late equaliser off the bench to keep the scintillating run of form going and ensure the Whites remain in the automatic promotion places.

United had gone into half-time 2-1 down despite Crysencio Summerville’s superbly taken effort from the edge of the area, with Spanish Under-21 international Joseph then bundling home in the 85th minute to level up proceedings at Vicarage Road.

The draw in Hertfordshire followed on from three well-deserved wins before the international break, with home victories coming over Millwall and Stoke City as well as an impressive 2-0 display away at Sheffield Wednesday.

Hull meanwhile have found wins hard to come by recently in their pursuit of the Sky Bet Championship playoffs, losing last time out at home to Stoke City 2-0.

After winning away at Southampton in February, Liam Rosenior's side would go on to draw their next four matches before falling to defeat against the Potters at the MKM Stadium.

The Tigers currently sit six points behind sixth-placed Norwich City, but can move to within a win of the Canaries thanks to their game in hand.

The two sides have already met once this campaign, with the Whites being held to a goalless draw in East Yorkshire despite dominating in the early stages.

Kick off from Elland Road is at 8pm.
