Leeds will have their sights on taking over top spot in the Championship on Tuesday when they entertain Watford.

Daniel Farke’s side have won their past two games at Elland Road without conceding and outclassed Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United on Friday.

Tom Cleverley’s Hornets have lost four straight on the road, scoring only one goal and conceding 11, with three of those coming in a tame derby defeat by Luton on Saturday.

On paper there looks to be only one outcome – but since when was the Championship ever that predictable?

At the other end of the table there are two huge games on Tuesday as Cardiff host Portsmouth while Queens Park Rangers welcome Coventry.

Cardiff have taken seven points from their past three and, inspired by Rubin Colwill, thumped Plymouth 5-0 on Saturday to move off the bottom, while Portsmouth picked up their first win at QPR to leave the Rs bottom of the pile.

Rangers are still only a point behind the fourth-bottom Sky Blues who have lost four of their past five games and taken just three points from a possible 21 on the road dating back to the start of April.

The away team have, however, won three of the past four encounters between the sides, with City winning 3-0 and 3-1 on their last two visits to west London.

After a timid defeat at Preston at the weekend, what under-pressure Coventry boss Mark Robins would give for a repeat of those trips to Loftus Road on Tuesday.

Oxford and Derby came up from League One together last season and are level on points in the top half of the Championship as they prepare to face each other at the Kassam on Tuesday.

Paul Warne’s side did end their four-match losing streak on their travels with a point at Millwall on Saturday, but Oxford maintained their unbeaten start at home with a last-gasp point against West Bromwich Albion.
