Both Leeds and Fulham return to Premier League action this weekend after recording 3-1 wins against Championship opposition in the third round of the FA Cup last time out. Indeed, the Whites were victorious away at Derby, while the Cottagers beat a high-flying Middlesbrough team on home soil.
In the league, both teams are also in decent form, although Leeds did lose narrowly 4-3 at Newcastle despite taking the lead three times. Fulham beat Chelsea 2-1 in a West London derby at Craven Cottage, and so will be heading to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon full of confidence.
