With so much to play for, Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has predicted some tight games in the final month of the Championship season, which is why he is giving his midfield shield as much time as possible to declare himself fit.
The Whites are at Coventry City on Saturday knowing they could be top of the table or out of the automatic promotion places at full time, so tight is the three-way fight for two spots. Hull City have a fight to get back into the play-off places but weekend wins could lift Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town out of the bottom three. Farke expects the upshot to be some pretty tight games.
Sometimes a point can be valuable. 'Sometimes there is a game with many goals when everyone expects a stalemate or the other way around so I'm struggling to give you my predictions for the game but I think both teams will try to stay compact.' Jamie Shackleton has added to Leeds' injury problems with an adductor injury set to keep him out for two weeks, but Farke has not given up on defensive midfielder Ilia Gruev returning against Mark Robins' Coventry.
