Leeds United face arguably the toughest task in the Championship tonight with a daunting trip to Craven Cottage to take on in-form Fulham.

Slavisa Jokanovic’s men are unbeaten in 17 league games and have won nine of their last ten on their own patch.

And, with Cardiff dropping two points last night at Sheffield United, the Londoners know they can close the gap on the second-placed side with a win against Paul Heckingbottom’s men.

However, Leeds will be slightly more confident after a much-needed win against Bolton last time out.

Yet, despite that, former Whites midfielder David Prutton is predicting another away-day defeat for his former club.

The EFL pundit went for a 3-1 home win tonight in his regular Sky Sports column.

Prutton added that Heckingbottom’s focus will be on building a side for next season, whereas the hosts are firmly in with a chance of making the top two in the current campaign.

Leeds may take some comfort from the fact they have not lost at Craven Cottage in their last three visits and they held Fulham to a draw earlier in the season as well.

The Verdict

You can’t really argue with Prutton’s prediction, as this does look a home banker.

Fulham have much more to play for, they’re in much better form and know a win will close the gap on Cardiff City at the top.

However, Leeds will be backed by another big following and will relish the role of underdog, even if a win looks unlikely.
