Leeds picked up their first win of the new season away at Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and will be looking to make it back-to-back victories when they play host to Hull on Saturday.
The visitors are yet to win in the 2024/25 Championship season with three games played but the Tigers are also yet to lose, so Leeds will have to work hard if they are going to secure their first home win.

Hull preview: Yet to win or lose
Hull made it three draws from their opening three league games when they entertained Millwall last time out.
The game itself won't live long in the memory, ending goalless, but Hull fans were left a little frustrated by their side failing to win this one.
Ryan Longman, Harvey Cartwright and Dogukan Sinik could miss the trip to Leeds this weekend through injury.
Predicted Lineup: Pandur (GK), Coyle, Giles, Jones, McLoughlin, Mehlem, Omur, Slater, Zambrano, Millar & Burstow

Player to watch – Brenden Aaronson
Brenden Aaronson's Leeds career had looked like it was coming to an end when the USA international was loaned out to Bundesliga side Union Berlin last season.
Aaronson scored two goals in 38 appearances for the German side but returned to Leeds this summer and has become an important part of the team under Daniel Farke.
Leeds' USA international has started the season brightly
The 23-year-old has made four appearances in league and cup this season, netting twice in the Championship from midfield and we're backing the former RB Salzburg man to put in another impressive performance for Leeds against Hull on Saturday.
