Leeds United look on course for a return to the Premier League after a consistent start to the Championship season.
However, they will be aiming to avoid an embarrassing outcome in the FA Cup at Elland Road on Saturday when they welcome League Two strugglers Harrogate Town to Yorkshire.
The visitors come into this cup match after a positive display against Barrow, but they have suffered losses in three of their last four in the fourth tier.
