Leeds and Preston have already met once this season in a fixture that ended 1-1, thanks to a late Eddie Nketiah goal which saved Marcelo Bielsa’s side

Preston sit third in the division, 10 points behind Bielsa’s side, having won exactly half of their 22 league games.
Fans were left mocking their northern rivals for failing to sell-out their allocation as they took to Twitter to react.
Here is a selection of tweets from the Elland Road faithful:
