Leeds United will enter the business end of the Championship promotion race after the international break.
Leeds United got their first taste of being the Championship's top team after beating Millwall 2-0 last weekend, with goals from Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James ensuring the Whites leapfrogged Leicester City due to a superior goal difference. Daniel Farke's men have clawed back a 17-point gap on the previous league leaders after winning 12 of a 13-game unbeaten run.
The timing of Leeds' ascension means they will be top for around a fortnight due to the March international break, and with only eight league games remaining - nine for Leicester - next week's return to action signals the start of the business end of the season. Leicester, Ipswich Town and Southampton are all vying to pip Farke's men to a top-two spot while a host of teams below are battling for play-off football.
