Leeds United return to Championship action tonight when they take on Coventry City (7.45pm).

United travel to the Coventry Building Society Arena at the top of the Championship standings, and have a two-point lead over second-placed Burnley. The Clarets closed the gap on Leeds with a 1-0 victory over Oxford United on Tuesday night.

Daniel Farke's side go into the game against Coventry, who are managed by Frank Lampard, on the back of a 7-0 win over Cardiff City at the weekend. Leeds also have a two-point lead over Sheffield United in third place - while the Blades find themselves outside the automatic promotion spots on goal difference.
