Data experts assess Leeds United's chances of securing the bragging rights vs Huddersfield Town

Leeds United will be aiming to keep their automatic promotion hopes on track when they welcome Huddersfield Town to Elland Road on Saturday.

The Whites claimed their fourth successive Championship win against Hull last weekend, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side claiming a 4-0 win at the KCOM Stadium.

And following West Brom’s surprise defeat to Wigan at the Hawthorns a couple of hours later, Bielsa’s side are just a point behind the current table-toppers with 10 games left to play.

Ahead of this weekend’s games, the number-crunchers at FiveThirtyEight have analysed the chances of Leeds continuing their impressive form against Danny Cowley's side.

And the good news for Leeds United fans is that, according to the site, the Whites have a 69 per cent chance of claiming all three points at Elland Road.

Huddersfield have a 10 per cent chance of claiming what to many would be a surprise victory, while there is a 21 per cent chance of the points being shared between the two.

And below is how the statistical website sees the rest of the Championship games going this weekend.
