History of the Leeds United v Stoke City fixture

Leeds prepare to entertain Stoke City at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Whites are clearly on top, having won 28 and lost only 5 of the 44 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was less than a year ago, in March 2006, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.
