History of the Leeds United v Stockport County fixture

Leeds play host to Stockport County at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, with high hopes of improving on their excellent record against the opposition, having managed to conjure up a win from 2 of the previous 3 games.

The last time the two teams met at Elland Road was way back in the black-and-white days of April 1924, as they swept to an impressive 4-0 win in a Second Division match.
