Leeds United make their return to Championship action after the international break at Watford.

The Whites have a number of players away with their countries over the next week or so and Daniel Farke will be hoping they all return with a clean bill of health ahead of matches with Watford and Hull City.

A 2-0 victory over Millwall on Sunday saw Leeds move to the top of the Championship for the first time all season, a place which Leicester City had occupied for pretty much the entirety of the campaign.

In fact, Leeds were actually 17 points adrift of Leicester at the turn of the New Year, but a run of 12 wins in 13 league matches has terrified Foxes supporting pundit Gary Lineker and got the likes of Conor Coady on his toes.

Though Leeds will head into the next round of fixtures in first place, they could actually drop down to third before they travel to Vicarage Road, with Leicester and Ipswich Town both in action on Good Friday first.

EFL pundit Adrian Clarke predicts Leeds’ Easter points tally vs Watford and Hull City

On the latest episode of the ‘What the EFL Podcast’, pundit Adrian Clarke has shared how many points he thinks Leeds will get over the Easter Weekend.

Up first, as mentioned, is a trip to Watford who will be at home for the first time under interim manager Tom Cleverley, before then hosting play-off chasing Hull City at Elland Road.

On paper, they will both certainly provide stern tests for Leeds, but Clarke is backing Farke’s side to come away with at least four points to continue their unbeaten run.
