Leeds United return after the international break with another big match in their battle to avoid the drop as they host Southampton at Elland Road. The Whites will be looking to make it three wins in a row for the first time since the end of last season and extend their seven-point buffer on the bottom three.
It will be the second time this campaign that Leeds are set to face the Saints immediately after the international break. It was a very disappointing afternoon at St. Mary’s for Leeds as they failed to register a single shot in target in a 1-0 defeat.
Southampton, though, enter the clash with Leeds on the back of a poor run of form – losing each of their last four matches in all competitions, including three in the league. It has been a good season on the whole for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side despite their recent form, sitting comfortably in mid-table.
