- Hull remain in the relegation zone on 22 points
- Leeds sit at the top of the Championship table with a three-point cushion
- Recommended bet: Leeds to win and under 2.5 goals

Leeds United will look to extend their unbeaten run to eight games when they travel across Yorkshire to face Hull City at the MKM Stadium in the Championship on Saturday.

Daniel Farke's side were left frustrated after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Blackburn on Wednesday, but results elsewhere helped them extend their advantage at the top.

Hull were beaten in stoppage time by Middlesbrough at home, but they will get a chance to put that right in front of their own fans this weekend.

Team news

Ruben Selles' injury list is still lengthy, with Kasey Palmer out until February, while Carl Rushworth, Charlie Hughes, Oscar Zambrano, Liam Millar, Mohamed Belloumi and Ryan Giles are sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Leeds boss Daniel Farke expects Sam Byram and Jayden Bogle to be fit for the trip across the M62 despite substituting both of them in the 1-1 draw against Blackburn.

Left-back Junior Firpo is nearly ready to return to full training, but he will miss out as the club tries to get him fit for this month's FA Cup clash with Harrogate Town.

The stats

Hull have the worst home record in the Championship, having only collected 11 points from 13 games at the MKM Stadium.

The Tigers have only won two of their last 16 games, but they came in December, suggesting Selles is getting a tune out of his squad since his move from Reading.

Leeds stayed unbeaten in December, while they have only lost twice on the road this season.

Farke's side ran out 2-0 winners against Hull at Elland Road when the two teams clashed in August.

Prediction

Hull have made themselves tougher to beat under Selles and that may be enough to steer them away from the bottom three in the coming months.

However, they will struggle to keep Leeds at bay, with the Whites better in all departments.

Leeds have only lost to Millwall and Blackburn on the road this season, and they have the strength in depth needed to manage this difficult period.

However, Hull's last three games have contained just one goal each, while Leeds' previous four away matches have all contained fewer than 2.5 goals, so expect a close contest in East Yorkshire.
