Leeds vs Leicester: Championship prediction, kick-off time, TV, live stream, team news, h2h results, odds
The biggest match of the Championship season so far takes place tonight as Leeds host title favourites Leicester in a huge game in the promotion race.
The Foxes remain in pole position to claim the title in a race which has appeared over for much of the season, but defeat at home to Middlesbrough has opened the door to the chasing pack despite a nine-point gap.
Leeds have won eight on the bounce to move into second on goal difference, helped by Southampton losing two of the last three and Ipswich have a wobble earlier in the month.

Another win for Daniel Farke's team will really see questions start to be asked for Leicester for the first time, while a defeat for Leeds will see them lose their grip on automatic promotion.

Leeds vs Leicester prediction
This is a very tough one to call. Leeds are clearly the team in form, and won the reverse game 1-0 so perhaps have the psychological edge, too.
But this Leicester team have been considered certainties for the title since almost the opening game for a reason. A win here would be their biggest result of the season to date and surely end any lasting doubts.
It should be a tight affair, and I'm going to sit on the fence with score draw, 1-1.
