Leeds United have struggled against teams operating a low block this season, especially in recent fixtures against Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers, but the Whites are unlikely to face such an approach in their final three games.

Leeds' remaining fixtures see Daniel Farke's men travel to Middlesbrough and QPR before a final day showdown against promotion rivals Southampton, who until very recently appeared out of the automatic promotion picture.

If Marti Cifuentes' team do not take maximum points from Preston this weekend, the R's cannot afford to play for a draw when Leeds arrive in the capital, which again should make for an open contest, possibly playing into Leeds' hands. United's Kryptonite this term has been low blocks employed by the opposition.
