Leeds United take on Reading on Tuesday night for what will be their second away game in the space of four days.
The Whites picked up their third consecutive win on Saturday after beating Luton Town 2-1 away at Kenilworth Road.
That now means Leeds are unbeaten in six games (W4 D2) and Marcelo Bielsa sees his side sit in place in the Championship table on 34 points, two points behind league leaders West Brom and now three points above third placed Preston North End.
Elsewhere, Reading suffered a 1-0 loss away at Brentford last weekend, their first defeat since October 5 after going unbeaten in four games (W3 D1). Mark Bowen side are currently 18th in the league table on 18 points, just four points above the relegation zone.
