Victory would ease the nerves at Leeds with the club hovering above the relegation zone. Marcelo Bielsa was sacked on Sunday and replaced by former Red Bull Salzburg head coach Marsch.

The Foxes did United a favour in midweek as they defeated Burnley at Turf Moor, to keep Leeds two points above the bottom three.
