Leeds vs Fulham: How to watch on TV live stream, team news, lineups & prediction
Leeds United welcome Fulham to Elland Road in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon.
Each side endured and enjoyed contrasting Thursday evenings. Leeds lost their third match on the spin against a struggling Leicester City, extending their winless sequence to seven matches as Jesse Marsch grimly stressed: "My focus is on stopping the bleeding."
Fulham, meanwhile, romped to their first Premier League win of the month - and their biggest in nine years, concluding Steven Gerrard's spell as Aston Villa manager with a 3-0 triumph.
Here's everything you need to know about Marsch's attempts to quell any looming questions about his future.

Leeds vs Fulham score prediction
Leeds haven't tasted the sweet nectar of victory since bulldozing through Chelsea in August. Marsch's side came closest to replicating that performance against Arsenal last weekend but fell to an unfortunate defeat.
This tendency to impress against the division's so-called elite would have fared well against the Championship guise of Marco Silva's side. However, since promotion Fulham have dramatically changed their style, abandoning a possession-based approach to play vertical, counter-attacking football.
Marsch's high-energy outfit also seeks out transitions. On home turf, Leeds could edge the meeting between a direct pair that has the potential to descend into a basketball match.
Prediction: Leeds 3-2 Fulham
