Everything seems to be going well for Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United.
They sit second in the table, three points ahead of Preston and just two points behind league leaders West Brom.
It has the recipe of a dramatic festive period as it moves ever closer.
First though, a trip to the Madejski Stadium where they came out 3-0 winners back in March. Many fans will be hoping for more of the same.
Anyway, The Pools caught up with Joe Mewis to talk all things Leeds:
Recommended bets:
Win, lose or draw?
Leeds are picking up some steam now, having won their last three games on the bounce and have enough about them to make it four in a row against the Royals ( 4/5 ).
Who's a good bet for 1st scorer?
Pablo Hernandez ( 6/1 ) netted twice at the Madejeski last season and he grew into the game on Saturday as he made his first start since September following injury, so is a decent bet to bag.
Who's on pens?
Patrick Bamford ( 23/20 anytime) slotted from the spot against Blackburn earlier this month and will be on penalty duties for the foreseeable future.
Will Leeds keep a clean sheet?
Yes ( 11/8 ). Leeds have conceded just 10 goals in 17 matches this season, so expect them to continue their fine defensive record.
