Leeds United will look to continue their surge towards automatic promotion on Good Friday, as they take on Wigan Athletic at Elland Road. The Easter weekend looks like the ideal time for the club to finally end their ding-dong battle with Sheffield United for second place, and kicking things off with a victory over Paul Cook’s struggling side would be a real psychological boost for Marcelo Bielsa’s side.
Here’s how the starting eleven is likely to look for the big game...
