Leeds United's promotion campaign suffered a setback in midweek with a 1-0 defeat at Burnley seeing them slip down to 15th in the Championship table.

Neil Warnock's side are in erratic form, but it's tight in the second tier of English football, and a win over Watford on Saturday could put them within a point of the playoff places.

The Hornets go into the Elland Road showdown level on points with their hosts, one place below them due to goal difference, so a close game is anticipated.

Neither side has any fresh injury concerns ahead of the match.

Recent form:

Leeds United: DDLWDL

Watford: WLLWD

Possible lineups:

Leeds United: Kenny; Byram, Lees, Pearce, Peltier; White, Brown, Austin, Tonge; Varney, Becchio

Watford: Almunia, Hall, Doyley, Pudil, Cassetti, Hoban, Chalobah, Hogg, Abdi, Deeney, Forestieri

Sports Mole says: 2-1
