In the last match Blackburn overcame Crewe with Leeds beating Luton to set up this all-Championship tie that will take place tonight as Rovers look to build on the first league win against Rotherham on Saturday.
This had been the only source of success for Owen Coyle with Blackburn before the four-two win over Rotherham on Saturday but having won at Ewood Park (with three-points on offer) he’ll want to build some momentum at Elland Road tonight.
Leeds themselves though do have some momentum building too after a difficult start, which started with a late win over Blackburn a week ago when the sides met in the Championship.
What will happen in this one though?
Cast your vote so we know if you think it’ll be all smiles or disappointment for Blackburn come the full time whistle.
