Leeds v Leicester predictions

Eight successive wins to start 2024 have propelled Leeds into the Championship's top two, and the Elland Road outfit can move to within six points of leaders Leicester with a home success over the leaders on Friday night.

An immediate return to the Premier League remains within touching distance for Leicester, who have spent the last five months at the top of the second tier.

However, an element of doubt might have crept in after Saturday's 2-1 loss at home to Middlesbrough.

Enzo Maresca's side can be hugely satisfied with a 78-point haul after 33 games, which puts them on course to break the record 106-point tally set by Reading in 2005-06, but they will also be mindful of keeping a comfortable cushion to the chasing pack.

Leeds, Ipswich and Southampton are averaging more than two points per game and that trio's efforts to secure automatic promotion could pose a danger to Leicester if the Foxes' standards were to slip down the stretch.

The trip to Elland Road marks the start of a testing period for the Foxes, who visit Sunderland and Hull and play Southampton in the East Midlands within the next four weeks.

And Maresca's visitors may struggle to cope with Leeds, who have won 12 of their last 13 home league matches and will be eager to maintain the only remaining unbeaten home record in the EFL.

Leeds were worthy 1-0 winners at Leicester in November and can complete a league double over the leaders, who may have a battle on their hands to regain top-flight status.

Key stat

Leeds have won 12 of their last 13 Championship home games.
