da spicy bet:
da poker: Leeds United are facing a huge test over the next few months as they aim to push towards promotion, with Garry Monk’s side knowing that a decent run of form could see them avoid the play-offs altogether and seal automatic promotion to the Premier League.A top-six spot is the objective though and Leeds can move one point behind third-place Huddersfield Town with a victory over Birmingham City on Friday night- although the Terriers will still have a game in hand.The clash at St Andrew’s kicks-off a testing run of fixtures for the Peacocks, who have to face promotion rivals Fulham, Reading and Brighton over the course of the next month- so three points will be the objective this weekend.Fortunately, Leeds have been handed a boost with the latest team news as left-back Charlie Taylor is in contention to make his return from injury on Friday night after a two month absence- as confirmed by Peacocks boss Garry Monk.
Whether Monk will restore Taylor to the line-up immediately though remains to be seen, asÂGaetano Berardi has impressed when filling in for the 23-year-old in recent months and could continue in his role.
However, Berardi is a right-back by trade and the urge to restore Taylor, who won Player of the Year at the club last season, may be too great to ignore.
