Leeds haven't lost back-to-back games yet this season and they'll be determined to continue that record after last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Blackburn shunted them out of the top two.

Victory would lift Daniel Farke's side back above current leaders Sheffield United, who are not in action until Sunday, when they travel to West Brom.

Derby, who are 15th in the table but have a five-point cushion above the bottom three, have only won one of their last nine games - although that came on the road, when the Rams triumphed 2-1 at Coventry earlier this month.

● Leeds United are unbeaten across their last five league games against Derby County (W3 D2), with the Yorkshire outfit netting 12 goals in total across that time.

● Derby County have won just one of their last seven away league games against Leeds United (D3 L3), failing to keep a single clean sheet at Elland Road during that time.

● Leeds have won each of their last six league games at Elland Road, conceding just one goal in the process. They're looking to record four consecutive home clean sheets for the first time since June 2020.

● Derby have both scored and conceded in each of their last nine league games, last having a longer such run between August and November 2005 (15).

● Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has only won one of his six games against Derby in the EFL (D2 L3), although that lone victory did come in his most recent meeting with them (1-0 in April 2021).
