Leeds face a trip to Colchester United at Weston Homes Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon, and have come away with little in previous meetings, having managed to conjure up just 1 win from the previous 3 games.
The most recent encounter between these two sides was less than a year ago, in April 2009, with Leeds inflicting a narrow 0 - 1 defeat upon the U's in a League One match.
