Leeds United v Swansea City prediction - something has to give in Championship's big battle of unbeaten starters

It's the undoubted game of the day.

Swansea, five wins out of six, take their unbeaten record to Elland Road to face a Leeds side locked on the same points with a fractionally better goal difference.

Will something give? We ask the man who knows the Swans inside out, Ian Mitchelmore , to give us a punting preview of the big match.

Win, lose or draw?

Leeds 2-1 Swansea. It's the first time I've gone against Steve Cooper's side as I just feel with the way Leeds play, it's going to be a monumental ask to leave Elland Road with something to show for their efforts. Here's hoping I'm wrong. Leeds are 6/10 to win with thepools.com but that 2-1 correct score is a whopping 7/1 .
 

Who’s a good bet for first scorer?

Borja Baston. Five goals in five games and he's the designated penalty taker. 15/2 first scorer is a big price, while he is 5/2 anytime .

Who’s on the naughty step?

Joe Rodon. I expect him to be a busy man at Elland Road.


Who’s on pens?

Borja Baston.

Will Swansea keep a clean sheet?

I can't see it. Leeds are superb on their own patch and - like Swansea - have scored plenty already this season. Both Teams To Score is 8/11 , while Both Teams To Score and Either Side To Win is 7/5 .
