History of the Leeds United v Tranmere Rovers fixture

Leeds prepare to entertain Tranmere Rovers at Elland Road this 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 most recent encounter between these two sides at Elland Road was just last season, in February 2008, as the visitors ran out 0-2 winners in a League One match.
