That is according to former Whites midfielder David Prutton, who believes Thomas Christiansen’s men will be in for a tough game against Burton Albion.

Leeds travel to the Pirelli Stadium having climbed into the Championship play-off spots thanks to their fine run of form.

Burton, who have the lowest wage bill in the Championship, appeared doomed at the start of December but back-to-backs wins have helped them climb out of the drop zone.

“What a week it has been for Burton,” Prutton told Sky Sports.

“Two fantastic wins at Bolton and Reading have lifted them all the way out of the relegation zone at a time where they looked to be in real trouble and in danger of slipping away.

“They're up against a Leeds side who are feeling good again, though, and are back in the play-offs after a decent run.

“This will be a tight game, but I think Thomas Christiansen's side will nick the win.

“0-1 with Kemar Roofe to score first.”

Playmaker Samuel Saiz is a doubt for Leeds after missing the 1-0 win against Hull City yesterday due to a calf injury.

Strikers Liam Boyce (knee) and Joe Mason are unavailable for Burton.
