Leeds prepare to entertain Cheltenham Town at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, hoping to break their duck against the visitors. The Whites lost the only previous game contested between the two teams.
The only previous meeting between Leeds and Cheltenham at Elland Road was less than a year ago, in March 2008, with Cheltenham inflicting a narrow 1-2 defeat upon the Whites in a League One match.
