Leeds United confirmed they would spend Christmas Day in the Championship's automatic promotion places with a 4-0 win over Oxford United last time out at Elland Road.

All of the division's top-four teams won their penultimate match of the year, growing the gap between them and fifth-placed Blackburn to six points, albeit with Rovers having a game in hand against Portsmouth, which they are due to play in on 15 January. John Eustace's team lost 1-0 at Millwall, while Sunderland came from behind to beat ten-man Norwich City and remain fourth.

A point ahead of them are Burnley after their 2-1 win home win over Watford, and Sheffield United are still top thanks to two Kieffer Moore goals away against his old club, Cardiff City. Leeds Live lists the next five fixtures for Leeds and their promotion race rivals...
