Very tough game this against our old foes, they seem on fire this season and them & WBA have opened up a massive gap. Can’t see it being our usual walkover against them, I reckon we’ll only win about 2 or 3 nil
We're 18/1 to win and BTTS on skybet. Whoever the matchup is, in the championship that's absurd odds.
Think we will off a shock tomorrow. Second Welsh team to win at Elland Rd this season.
Team srlection will be interesting. Am expecting a couple of changes. Think sick note would have started at fb, but he's got another friggin injury.

Norman Hunter is the cover star of Saturday's centenary season matchday programme for the visit of Cardiff City in the Sky Bet Championship at Elland Road.
Each issue is dedicated to someone who has made a significant contribution to Leeds United over the past 100 years, in date order.
Hunter is fifth on the club's all time appearance list and helped the club go from the Second Division to First Division champions, winning every domestic honour with the Whites.
Available from around stadium and inside the Superstore for £3.50 ahead of Saturday's Sky Bet Championship clash, our 100-page programme also has regular columns with Marcelo Bielsa, chief executive Angus Kinnear and captain Liam Cooper.
The programme also features extracts from Daniel Chapman's new book '100 Years of Leeds United', with tales about the club over the last century.
Captain Liam Cooper gives an exclusive interview, before we look back at our recent games against Huddersfield Towna and Hull City along with finding out what has been happening on social media and on our away trips.
The programme contains the lowdown on opponents Cardiff, with regular columnist Tom 'I'd Radebe Leeds' Bradley providing the view from the opposition and Ben Scott looking back at a previous meeting.
There are also columns from Whites legend Peter Lorimer and BBC Radio Leeds’ Adam Pope. The Leeds United Supporters Club and Winston the White bring you the view from the fans.
We also have news from the Leeds United Foundation, Leeds United Ladies and the Leeds United Academy, before rounding off with all the regular stats, fixtures and tables.
Saturday's matchday programme will be available from our various sellers around the ground and inside the Elland Road Superstore.
Brentford annihilated us for 60 mins and now Neil's got to somehow pick the team up for Leeds away. I think this game will tell us a lot about whether the players are buying into Harris' methods/role.
I hate leeds
I hate welsh leeds fans
There are ****ing loads of them , most don't even know where leeds is
Morrison back. Vaulks starts.
Leeds United XI: Casilla, Ayling, Berardi, White, Dallas, Phillips, Klich, Hernandez, Harrison, Costa, Bamford
Cardiff City XI: Etheridge; Peltier, Morrison, Flint, Bennett; Mendez-Laing, Pack, Vaulks, Ralls, Tomlin; Ward
Subs: Smithies, Nelson, Bacuna, Whyte, Murphy, Paterson, Glatzel.
Mozzer and Flint again as the CB partnership. Slow and slower.
Nelson must be dissapointed this could be a right stuffing.Originally Posted by jon1959
It's a shocking partnership - should be one or the other with these guys.
Great to see Morrison and Ralls back for this big game. Come on City!
“Hey Nelson, cheers for stepping in and looking decent, but our other defender is fit now so we’re starting with 2 statues ahead of you today, but yeah thanks is for helping out”
Tragic.
One winger, what formation will we play? Surely he can't put Ralls or Tomlin out wide? Maybe 4-4-2 but someone has to be on the left. Good to see Vaulks get a start. Also good to see Morrison back but not paired with Flint against a Leeds team who can break with pace. Whyte and Glatzel on the bench. Madine not even in the squad. Ward up front!!!!
Why wouldn’t Tomlin be able to play out wide?
Looks like

With Pack and Vaulks holding
It does. Good to see Ralls and Mozza back, hope they’re fully fit.
Tough afternoon ahead.
Hopefully Nelson has a knock as he's not done a lot wrong since coming in.
Unless he is injured Madine fails to make the squad. Glad to see Glazel is back even as a sub. Huge mistake playing Morrison and Flint together.
Harris said Madine had a back problem at the end of the Brentford game.
According to WoL reporter
Gary Madine loses his race to be fit and is replaced by the returning Robert Glatzel on the bench. Danny Ward keeps his place leading the line.
Alex Smithies and Gavin Whyte both recover from their illnesses midweek to take their places on the bench,
This is a big day for Leeds. With WBA winning and a sold out Elland Rd.
Have it as a 4312 on FlashScores app. But they regularly get our players out of position so I’ll wait and see!
Have it with NML up top..
