The Whites romped to a 4-0 victory over Ipswich Town before Christmas but were brought crashing back down to Earth by Preston on Boxing Day. The 2-1 defeat to the Lilywhites was a squandered opportunity to close the gap between the second automatic promotion slot and the play-offs.

It also enabled in-form Southampton to leapfrog Leeds in the table. West Brom will most likely offer a stern test and are led by a man Leeds fans know well, Carlos Corberan.

The Spaniard led Leeds’ under-23 side before stepping up to assist Marcelo Bielsa with the first-team. He departed to take the reins at Huddersfield Town, before leaving the Terriers for Olympiacos and eventually arriving at The Hawthorns.
