Matchday 31 takes us to Swansea and the first of our next 4 matches that will be live on TV, the most times of any team in the 4 divisions.
Team News
Leeds
Shackleton missing for personal reasons, Byram rested but Dan James will be back.
Swansea
Are sweating on the fitness of Kyle Naughton although should make it. Ashby, Key, Darling, Lowe, Abdulai, Ginnelly, and Parker are all out.
Swansea had a fine win at the weekend against Hull but like many are struggling for consistency.
Always a tough game at their stadium but will be a home from home for our growing Welsh Battalion.
Confidence is high and as long as we're not facing burnout am confident of another victory. 2.1 Leeds Gnonto and Summerville.
Over to you all for predictions and line ups

Today was a solid performance and we made a decent side look very poor. Few slices of fortune, but you make your own luck in football, and as they say, when things are going your way...
Gruev is too good for this level. Gnonto will get all the plaudits, and rightly so, but it needed to be said.
Thought Ampadu had a few dicey moments. Would still prefer Struijk there, personally, but that's a big headache for Farke yet to come.
Onwards and upwards. Hopefully we can have a 25 game unbeaten run of our own.

Didn’t see anything wrong with Ampadu.
The stats since he went to CB are awesome.
Struijk will struggle to displace him.

It's nothing major. A couple of cheap corners conceded stick in my mind.

We must not be complacent, Ipswich are 6 points behind but with 2 games in hand...Southampton 2 points behind with 1 game in hand...Have to keep winning like Man city do, and hoping those 2 go off their trolleys. Leicester are a banker."
Southampton have 10 goals less than us, so they need the points that we are clawing away at pretty fast!..
And Ipswich would need one hell of a game inhand to catch the 19 they need to take our lead!..
At the moment I don't think any of the two are to happy about the way things are going!..

Sorry Maid... I still don't like the pink kit but if we get automatic promotion l promise to buy it and wear it on our return to the EPL

Don't you think the Sky Jackson Pollock Coverage improved it. I had multiple Ampadus on my screen at one stage all in pink.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Oh I missed that Dennis, I'll try and find it on youtube... sounds groovy man, almost Sgt Pepper vibes coming across.. One thing's for sure Leeds United are definitely getting better!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Macca, it was a comment about how the Sky coverage looked like an abstract expressionist painting most of the second half and how the pinks of our kit looked designed for that, don't look for hidden depth in my comment, I am very shallow mate.

It was certainly a fantastic, unbelievable result. I really didn't hold out any hope of that and was expecting a draw, a full-blooded 2-2. I thought we played brilliantly and all credit to DF and the lads👍.

OK Macca - I expect a youtube to be posted on here with you looking lovely in pink!
I did actually say to my other half, last night, that it wasn’t the best kit the team has worn! (It’s great for the girls though).
I liked that dark grey and pink one we had and also the lilac one that we were wearing when we stayed up on the last day of the season in our second year in the Prem.
I know most of you guys are wanting a yellow and blue away kit but whether the Club are listening remains to be seen. I won’t care what colour it is, if we are back in the Premier League.

Very apt for last night given how much the picture wobbled about.
