Leeds United's remaining fixtures ahead of Championship restart

Ahead of the Championship restart later this week, Sports Mole looks at leaders Leeds United's remaining fixtures.

Leeds United continue their quest for a Premier League return this weekend when the Championship resumes following a three-month absence.

The Whites have not competed in the top tier since 2004, but they are on the brink of promotion with nine games to go.

Marcelo Bielsa's men lead second-place West Bromwich Albion by a point and, more importantly, have a seven-point buffer on Fulham in third.

Four wins may well be enough to guarantee a place in the Premier League and, on the face of it, United have a favourable run-in.

Indeed, arguably the toughest of Leeds's remaining matches is their first game back this weekend against bogey side Cardiff City.

The Whites have won only three of the past 24 encounters against the Bluebirds and relinquished a three-goal lead to draw 3-3 in the reverse fixture.

That trip to South Wales is followed by back-to-back home games against Fulham and Luton Town, with the first of those arguably the biggest game of the Championship season.

Stoke City, Barnsley and Charlton Athletic are still to visit Elland Road, while trips to Blackburn Rovers, Swansea City and Derby County must also be factored in.
