    Leeds United - v - Blackburn Rovers ***Matchday Thread***

    (image to follow as hosting site appears to have crashed).

    Championship leaders Leeds are again likely to be without striker Patrick Bamford because of a knee injury.

    Full-back Barry Douglas could return after feeling ill in the warm-up and missing their win at Aston Villa.

    Blackburn midfielder Jack Rodwell is pushing to start after returning to the bench against Norwich, ending a three-game absence because of concussion.

    Wingers Craig Conway and Elliott Bennett are hopeful of shaking off respective muscle and foot problems.

    After losing 4-1 at West Brom on 10 November, Leeds have won six games in a row - the latest a dramatic come-from-behind victory at Villa Park.

    Blackburn have won just once in seven matches and have not picked up three points away from home since 6 October at Bolton.

    Match facts:

    Leeds United were defeated 2-1 by Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park earlier this season, in October - it was the Whites' first league away defeat of the season after remaining unbeaten in their opening six.

    Leeds United have won both of their last two competitive meetings with Blackburn at Elland Road (both in 2016-17), thanks to winning goals coming in the 85th minute or later.

    Leeds United have won their last two Boxing Day games, 2-1 vs Burton in 2017 and 4-1 vs Preston in 2016.

    Blackburn boss Tony Mowbray has won six of his seven Boxing Day matches as a manager (L1) - all six wins were at home, with his only away match ending in defeat at Chelsea as West Brom manager in 2008.

    Leeds have lost just one of their last 15 home Championship matches (W10 D4), a 1-2 defeat to Birmingham City in September.

    Leeds and Blackburn last faced on Boxing Day during the 1992-93 Premier League campaign - Rovers won 3-1 with goals from Jason Wilcox and an Alan Shearer brace.

    2 - 0.

    MOT.

    MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL.

    dunno, but those kind of runs come to and end, no matter your Barcelona or Leeds, and usually come to an end against those teams you would least expect, for that reason im a bit nervous today, everything points to comfortable home win, but one never knows.....

    Copy and paste from Leeds Live:

    "A win this afternoon will see Leeds make it seven on the bounce - a feat they have not achieved in the league since September 2007.

    That was of course the blockbusting start they made to life in League One, when they eradicated the 15 point penalty they began the season with in style.

    The wins there came against Tranmere, Southend, Nottingham Forest, Luton, Hartlepool, Bristol Rovers and Swansea.

    And it feels a very long time ago..."

    Good work Andy as usual. Yep a tricky one this expect us to be same apart from Douglas coming back in maybe Clarke ahead of Harrison. Although MB might not change the way he’s been using young Clarke and then again I don’t think he was too happy about Harrison’s half at villa.
