David Prutton has given his prediction for Leeds United's home fixture with Derby County on Saturday.

The former White has opted for a 2-0 home victory for Marcelo Bielsa's men as they look to extend their stay at the top of the Championship.

This game has an added edge to it after last seasons play-off semi-final, where Derby County ended Leeds' campaign after a 4-2 win at Elland Road.

Now, the Rams travel to Yorkshire with a different manager in charge. Phillip Cocu has taken over from Frank Lampard but hasn't had the best of starts, winning just one game in his first seven Championship fixtures.

Leeds go into the game in top form, having lost just once so far this season. Prutton expects that pattern to continue and has opted for the home side to take the three points.

Speaking in his Sky Sports column, Prutton said: "Well well! Safe to say this is a fixture with a bit of recent history behind it. We may not have Frank Lampard involved anymore but after Spygate and that play-off semi-final, second leg there should be plenty of needle at Elland Road on Saturday.

"Leeds are top of the table heading into the weekend and the gap between themselves and Derby looks to have grown this season. I can't see past this being a home win."

Is this the WORST Leeds United XI from the last 15 years? We'll let YOU decide.... The Verdict  It's going to be an interesting battle on the pitch, and I'm sure both sides will be right up for this match. The occasion is always good between these two, but after last year it has that added edge to the game that could certainly make it a fiery one. Leeds go into the match sitting at the top of the Championship table and have the opportunity to extend their lead as this fixture is the early kick-off in the division. I think it'll be close and tight purely because of how desperate both are for the points, I do think Leeds will edge it though, 1-0.
