Leeds United face Coventry City on Saturday seeking to protect their formidable unbeaten run in the Championship.
Leeds are unbeaten in 15, with 13 wins and two draws, ahead of the 3pm kick-off.
They face a Coventry team who have won eight and drawn three over the same number of games.
Leeds are second in the table after 40 games, of which they have won 26 and drawn eight, earning 86 points.
Coventry are five places behind United in seventh, with 16 wins and 12 draws putting them on 60 points.
With 75 goals in 40 games so far this season, the visitors are scoring more than average in the league with 1.9 goals per game. And they are conceding fewer than average, letting in 31 goals at a rate of 0.8 per game.
City are also above average scorers, with 1.6 goals per game, compared to a league average of 1.4. They have conceded 1.2 goals per game.
With Illan Meslier between the sticks, Leeds can rely on one of the league's safest pair of hands. He has kept 17 clean sheets in his 38 appearances this season, and no ‘keeper has prevented the opposition scoring more often in the Championship.
In the Sky Blues' net, Bradley Collins has seven clean sheets in 21 games. He has conceded a goal every 99 minutes, 30% more often than the 130 minutes between goals for Meslier.
Coventry's last match was on Monday, a 2-1 loss against Cardiff City, with Ellis Simms getting the goal for the Sky Blues.
Leeds beat Hull City 3-1 last time out, also on Monday, with Crysencio Summerville, Daniel James and Sam Byram on the scoresheet.
Saturday's match will be refereed by Tom Nield, who has taken charge of 10 Championship games so far this season, issuing no red cards and booking 40 players. He has awarded one penalty.
The last Coventry game Nield refereed was a 3-1 away win against Queens Park Rangers on September 30. He is yet to oversee a match featuring Leeds this season.
