Leeds United will be hoping to extend their unbeaten run to an incredible 17 games unbeaten vs West Brom this Saturday.
The Baggies make the trip up to Yorkshire as Daniel Farke will be hoping to extend the Whites’ lead to eight points at the top of the Championship.
West Brom themselves find their fortunes lying in the playoffs at the moment, as both sides could see Premier League football next season.

Farke received a big blow as Leeds captain Ethan Ampadu will be out for 4-6 weeks, with the hope of having a fully fit squad looking unlikely.
Despite this, Leeds have looked unstoppable, but that doesn’t phase the West Brom camp one bit.
West Brom manager sends major warning to Leeds United
When the two sides met last, it wasn’t as exciting as Leeds’ recent games, with a 0-0 draw gracing the Hawthorns.
This was back in August however, and plenty has changed.
Junior Firpo could be rested for Leeds as Baggies manager Tony Mowbray could face a weakened Leeds side, and he’s not messing about with his admission about Leeds and Elland Road.
“I have just told the team how exciting it is going to be at Elland Road next week,” Mowbray said to the BBC.
“Let’s go there and let them know they’ve been in a real football match.
“I think we have the players to go and get it right to go there and give them some problems.”
Leeds could see weakness in West Brom with remarkable statistic
The Championship has once again provided, as despite Leeds beginning to pull away, it hasn’t been an easy job.
A win on Saturday should see them feel very comfortable, and this West Brom statistic will give them more hope of securing three points.
The Baggies did win their last game 2-0 against Oxford United, but this doesn’t make good reading for what should come next based on this campaign.
Leeds’ opponents haven’t won back-to-back games in the league since September, so Mowbray might want to dial down his claims.
