Leeds United will be hoping to keep the pressure on league-leaders West Brom with a positive result when they return to action this weekend. 

The Whites picked up a much-needed three points in their last match against Bristol City, as they moved three points clear of third-placed Fulham, after the Cottagers were surprisingly beaten by relegation-threatened Barnsley.

Marcelo Bielsa's side host Reading on Saturday, in a game that they'll be expected to pick up three points from at Elland Road.

The Royals have struggled for positive results in recent weeks, but beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-0 at Hillsborough in their last outing, so Leeds will have to be aware of the threat that Mark Bowen's side pose to them.

Reading are currently sat 15th in the Championship table, and are 11 points adrift of the play-off positions, which are still a possibility with 13 games remaining of this year's campaign.

We take a look at FOUR Reading FC 'dangermen' that Leeds will need to be wary of heading into the game on Saturday afternoon.

Ovie Ejaria

Ejaria is arguably the player that Leeds will have to keep an eye on the most at Elland Road on Saturday.

The on-loan Liverpool midfielder is set to join the Royals permanently in the summer of 2020, which will be pleasing to hear for the club's supporters.

Ejaria's dribbling and tricky footwork caused Leeds some problems in the first fixture between the two sides earlier this season, and he'll be hoping he can keep Kalvin Phillips on his toes this weekend.

John Swift 

Swift is Reading's most creative player going forward, even though he divides opinion from some of the Madejski Stadium faithful.

The former Chelsea youngster has five goals and ten assists to his name this season, and he'll be hoping to make the most of the chances that fall his way, in what is likely to be a defence-minded Reading team.

It's likely that he'll line up in a midfield three with Ovie Ejaria and Andy Rinomhota, but his threat going forward could be limited given that the Whites like to dominate the possession in their matches.

George Puscas 

Puscas has nine goals to his name, but hasn't been at his consistent best all season, much to the frustration of some Reading supporters.

He scored their second goal against Sheffield Wednesday last weekend, and will be keen to add to his goal tally against Marcelo Bielsa's side.

The Romanian international netted a hat-trick against Wigan Athletic earlier this season, but you have to feel as though the best is yet to come from Puscas.

Yakou Meite

Meite has been one of Reading's form players in recent weeks, and he is the club's top goalscorer this season with ten goals to his name this term in all competitions.

He scored the opener for the Royals in their 3-0 win over Sheffield Wednesday and was a constant threat against Garry Monk's side.

Meite can operate in wide areas of the pitch, or as a central striker, and his aerial ability could cause the likes of Liam Cooper and Ben White some problems when Reading counter-attack.
