Leeds United have to become only the second team to beat Leicester City in the Championship this season in order to 'keep track of the top two'. That is the view of Sky Sports pundit David Prutton, who reckons Daniel Farke's side will leave the blockbuster Friday night showdown at the King Power Stadium with a point.
The Whites have recovered from a sluggish start to sit third in the table, with a comfortable derby victory over Huddersfield Town in their last outing. However, Farke's team already trail Ipswich Town by nine points with the Tractor Boys also holding a game in hand. League leaders Leicester enjoy a 14-point cushion over Leeds in the automatic promotion race, having only dropped points once in their first 14 matches. Prutton feels the televised contest between the relegated duo is already a 'big game', and has predicted the teams to play out a 2-2 draw.He wrote for Sky Sports: "A real heavyweight clash to kick things off on Friday night. Leicester City look imperious, unstoppable.
"Leeds have as many points as Burnley did at the same stage last season, but they could well need to win here to try and keep track of the top two. It is a big, big game. I think the Foxes could well be held."
