Leeds v West Brom

Leeds vs West Brom Preview

Leeds United picked up a fifth league win on the trot in the Championship in midweek when they secured a vitally important three-point haul at the expense of their Yorkshire local rivals Sheffield United with a resounding 3-1 win away from home at Bramall Lane which also extended the upcoming hosts' lead at the top of the table to five points as well.

West Brom also registered a win in the Championship last weekend with a solid 2-0 home win against Oxford United to keep Tony Mowbray's side in the frame for a possible play-off place come the end of the season.

Leeds United's unbeaten run in the English second tier has now stretched to an amazing 16 games thanks to that priceless win against rivals Sheffield United and even more impressive is the fact that The Peacocks have also picked up no fewer than 12 wins within this period as well.

Seven of these 12 wins have been registered on home soil at Elland Road and amongst these seven home victories, five of these have also seen the Yorkshire hosts keep clean sheets which may prove to be a telling statistic on Saturday lunchtime.

Leeds United have also lost just once all season at Elland Road whilst racking up a total of 14 wins within their 17 home games played to date and 11 of these 17 home games have also been clean sheets.

West Brom may have collected an important three points last time out in the Championship by way of a 2-0 home win against Oxford United but The Baggies have found league wins hard to come by and putting together a winning streak of any kind, even tougher.

The bigger picture shows West Brom have managed to capture just seven wins from their last 28 matches in the English second tier and it has only been the high number of draws where the west midlands have picked up useful points along the way that has helped keep Tony Mowbray's side in the hunt for a play-off spot.

Indeed, 14 of these previous 28 games overall saw West Brom involved in stalemates and this ultimately resulted in former manager Carlos Corberan losing his job as the race for a top six finish intensified.

Interestingly, six out of West Brom's seven wins during this period were achieved on home soil at The Hawthorns while results away from home have been simply woeful; The Baggies have registered just one win from their previous 14 outings on the road in the Championship, while slipping to five defeats.

Leeds United v West Brom Verdict
