Leeds United have the chance to go eight points ahead of third tonight with a win over Watford at Vicarage Road. A win would also extend their lead at the top of the table to five points.

That's because Sheffield United, in second, and Burnley, in third, do not play until tomorrow. The Blades face a tricky home test against Middlesbrough while the Clarets host Hull City.

As for Leeds team news, Daniel Farke has two players absent. Patrick Bamford has not yet returned from his hamstring injury while Max Wober is required to undergo surgery this week due to his persistent knee problems. Otherwise, United have all other options available.

A much-changed United side may have succumbed to Millwall in the FA Cup on Saturday but they have not been beaten in the league since November.
