Leeds United take on Swansea City at Elland Road on Wednesday night and here's how you can keep up with the action on TV and online

Leeds United face Swansea City at Elland Road on Wednesday night as they look to hit back from a frustrating 1-1 draw with Rotherham United last time out. The Whites are third in the Championship as they seek to cut the gap to Ipswich Town in second.

A number of clubs are currently involved in the battle for the play-off spots and Leeds will look to continue building the gap to seventh position to make sure a top-six position is the least they will achieve this campaign. Ahead of the visit of Swansea, Leeds are the only second-tier side to boast an unbeaten record at home with five wins and three draws from their eight games. League leaders Leicester City also had a perfect home record until the Whites earned a 1-0 win at the King Power Stadium before the November international break.

Swansea have more injury concerns to contend with as Azeem Abdulai, Mykola Kuharevich and Joe Allen are all back in training but are still a couple of weeks away from full fitness. Josh Key is the closest to making his return and has an outside chance of being in the squad against Leeds. He has been out since a 3-1 home loss to Leicester City in mid-October. Speaking about his side's availability last week, manager Michael Duff said: “Nathan Wood has seen a specialist and had good news, but is a way away from being fit, and Josh Ginnelly is making progress but is likely to miss rest of the season.”
