Aston Villa will move into the top four of the table - at least until the North London derby - if they take three points from Elland Road today.
The two clubs have been moving in very different directions in the Premier League in recent weeks.
After a solid start on their return to the top flight, Daniel Farke's side are on the slide with four defeats in their last five - their only win coming against fellow strugglers West Ham.
The German manager remains among the favourites to be the next manager to lose his job and when you look at their upcoming fixtures, it's easy to see why. A positive result against Villa is desperately needed to stop the rot in Yorkshire.
Conversely, Unai Emery's men have bounced back from a poor start to reel off five wins from their past six, including those against Man City, Spurs and Bournemouth.
Can Leeds grab a much-needed win or will the visitors continue their fine recent form? AllSportsPeople brings you this betting preview complete with the latest tips and odds.
Leeds vs. Villa prediction: Who will win today?
Despite their poor recent form, Leeds remain a very solid side at Elland Road with only Spurs coming away with a win so far this season.
We don't think Farke's side will upset the odds and claim three points against Villa but a draw would be welcomed as they look to move away from the bottom three.

Leeds United vs. Aston Villa Prediction, Final Score Betting
Leeds are the joint-second lowest scorers in the league but have been reasonably solid at home (five goals conceded in five matches), so don't expect many goals this afternoon.
Villa will try to force the issue but we think they'll be held in a tense score draw in Yorkshire. Despite their climb up the table, Emery's side still only have one away league win to their name so far this season.
Score Prediction: Leeds 1-1 Aston Villa (11/2 with Bet365)

Premier League Predictions
We're building up to the huge North London derby at the Emirates today.
Having suffered a thigh injury on international duty with Brazil, Gabriel is a big absence for the Gunners both in defence and attack, but Arsenal's depth is such that the absence of several first teamers this season has not been truly felt.
They are a better side than Spurs despite the timely return of key creative outlet Mohammed Kudus. Home advantage should guide them to a convincing win on Super Sunday - starting a big week at home and in Europe for the Gunners on the perfect note.
