PREVIEW | Leeds United vs Stoke City - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Leeds United and Stoke City clash this Monday at Elland Road in Matchweek 44 of the EFL Championship. The match will be broadcast live at 15:00 on Sky Sports Football.

Leeds United have won 91 points to date and are currently top of the table. Last time out, Daniel Farke's team triumphed 0-1 against Oxford United to maintain their automatic promotion push.

Stoke City have 50 points to their name this season and occupy 16th position in the table. In their last match, Mark Robins's team prevailed 2-0 against Sheffield Wed.

The last meeting between the two teams ended in a 2-0 Leeds win.

The Fan Zone

Sam Bevan (All Day LUFC): All of the top three Championship teams picked up three points on Good Friday, which works in Leeds and Burnley’s favour.

The mission is simple for Leeds now. Beat Stoke and Sheffield United must win, otherwise Daniel Farke completes his third promotion from the Championship.

Performance levels have been up in the last four which has returned 10 points from 12 too.

Hard to see a world where we can’t get the four points needed.

Prediction: 3-0

Stephen Gillett (Playmaker Stats ): Stoke's recent upturn in consistency and form continued with a 2-0 win over an out-of-form Sheffield Wednesday last time out and the Potters have now done enough to preserve their Championship status.

It has taken a while, but Mark Robins has finally coaxed some performances from his squad and they should at least be competitive against Leeds.

That said, the hosts have the incentive of Premier League football to play for here, and it is very hard to look past a Leeds win.

Prediction: 2-0
