3 huge Championship clashes to keep an eye on this weekend

Reading vs Leeds United

Saturday evening sees fifth take on fourth at the Madejski Stadium as Jaap Stam’s Reading host Garry Monk’s Leeds United.

The Royals got the better of fellow play-off rivals Sheffield Wednesday just before the international break to open up a six-point gap over Fulham in seventh, and they boast the third-best home record in the league having won 12 of their 19 matches at the Madejski Stadium.

In fact, they haven’t tasted defeat at home since the middle of January, yet Monk’s Leeds are currently embarking on a seven-game unbeaten streak, and beat second place Brighton 2-0 at Elland Road prior to the break for internationals.

And with just two defeats in their last eight games, they also know how to pick up points on the road, so it’s all set up to be an enthralling encounter between two sides hopeful of a return to the Premier League come May.
