Leeds United: Analysis, Team Preview, and Lineup
Leeds United entered the EFL Championship in the 2023/24 season, having been relegated from the Premier League after they finished in the 19th position. In their first season in the EFL they showed impressive results, coming third in the league table.
However, this season they confidently exceeded that result and climbed to the top. With only two matches left to play in the season, they are looking at a new promotion to the Premier League.
One player to be looking out for is the centre forward Joël Piroe who has 19 goals and 6 assists to his record. Coming right after him is the right winger Daniel James with 12 goals and 9 assists. The third place is shared by the attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson and the left winger Manor Solomon, both of whom have scored 9 goals each.

Bristol City: Analysis, Team Preview, and Lineup
Bristol City has been playing in the EFL Championship since the 2015/16 season after they were promoted from the League One. Initially, their game was a mixed bag, with the team normally occupying bottom to middle positions in the league table, but in the recent several seasons, they started a steady ascend to the top.
Their current position in the 5th line is the highest they have had in a while. It qualifies them for the Championship play-offs, however they should be careful of Coventry City who are just one position and one point behind.
Noteworthy players to look out for in the game include: left winger Anis Mehmeti who has 12 goals and 1 assist to his record, centre forward Nahki Wells with 10 goals and 3 assists, and attacking midfielder Scott Twine with 6 goals and 3 assists.
