Preview: Leeds United vs. Leicester City

Leeds vs. Leicester

Leicester City have the chance to move into the automatic promotion places on Tuesday when they make the trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United.

Nigel Pearson's side, who are currently four points off the top spot, go into the match on the back of two consecutive wins.

In contrast, Leeds picked up only one point from their first four games in November before Saturday's surprise 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

Loan signings Jerome Thomas and Alan Tate are expected to continue for the hosts, while Luke Varney remains suspended.

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson could name the same side that beat Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 on Saturday.

Recent form:

Leeds: WDLLLW

Leicester: LLDDWW

Possible lineups:

Leeds: Kenny; Peltier, Lees, Tate, Green; Thomas, Tonge, Norris, Byram; Becchio, Diouf

Leicester: Schmeichel; De Laet, Morgan, Whitbread, Schlupp; Marshall, Drinkwater, King, Dyer; Vardy, Waghorn

Sports Mole says: 1-2
