There should be a significant difference in quality between these teams based on table positions so far, with Leeds United leading Stoke City by 32 points.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

The season is still full of potential for Leeds as they can still win the whole Championship. Stoke are struggling to avoid relegation.
