And a very Merry Christmas to Leeds United as we get ready to welcome our neighbours from Humberside, Hope Santa gives us a nice early prezzie
Venue..Elland Road..Date..23rd Dec..Kick Off 15:00hrs
Team News
Leeds manager Thomas Christiansen reckons striker Pierre-Michel Lasogga will be ready for the visit of Hull.
The German has missed the last six matches with a calf problem and, although he returned to training last week, he was not considered for the win at Norwich.
Pablo Hernandez returned as a late substitute in that game after a hamstring problem but the form of Pawel Cibicki in his absence may mean he has to settle for a place on the bench again. Forward Caleb Ekuban has a broken bone in his foot which is likely to sideline him for another month.
Hull City
A lengthy injury list continues to trouble Hull boss Nigel Adkins. Midfielders David Meyler, Kevin Stewart and Marcus Henriksen, and striker Fraizer Campbell all missed last weekend's defeat at Cardiff and doubts remain over whether all four will be fit to return.
Adkins did get defender Max Clark back for that game, although he was an unused substitute and may have to settle for a similar role at Elland Road. On a more positive note striker Abel Hernandez has begun outdoor training after suffering a ruptured Achilles tendon in August, but he is not likely to be involved until next month.

Match Stats
Leeds have scored at least twice in seven of their last eight home league matches against Hull (W5 D2 L1), failing to do so in December 2006 (0-0), 11 years to the day since this fixture.
The Tigers have won only three of their last 16 league meetings with the Whites (D5 L8), with two of those wins coming in the 2012/13 season.
Leeds have scored in every one of their last 10 league games and if they score in this match, they'll equal the longest-such record seen in the division this season - which is currently set by opponents Hull City (11 games between September-November).
Nouha Dicko has been involved in six goals in six previous Championship matches against Leeds (four goals, two assists), averaging a goal or assist every 55 minutes against the Whites; Dicko scored the winning goal at Elland Road for Wolves last season.
Hull City have conceded a league-high 16 goals in the final 15 minutes of matches this season.
Nigel Adkins has never lost a Championship meeting with Leeds in five previous matches (W4 D1 L0) - Thomas Christiansen with will be fifth different Leeds manager he's facing in six matches (Grayson, Warnock, McDermott and Milanic previously).
There you go then ................Not an easy game according to the stats, but then We don't do Easy do we
I'm well up for a 2-0 Scoreline with Saiz and Cibicki doing the damage

Another brick in the wall. 3 points, momentum building. We lost 7 in 9. Now to react to that and win 7 in 9 would be best response we could have hope for.January window to come, a lot to be optimistic about.

Once again I prove the quality of my punditry, didn't I say Lasogga would not return to ER.

I'm sorry but this notion that we're not good enough
to get promotion is mental. We're 5th for christ's sake.
As of now, we are a top 6 team. We're good enough
as of right now. And as good as every other in team
in the top 6 bar Wolves.
Happy as hell.

In addition to that, I find myself in full agreement
with Jonty on everything he posts. Feels like the
Bates era Ja606 once again. Ha.
