Leeds are ready to welcome Gillingham to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The majority of those games have been won by the Whites.
The previous match played between the two at Elland Road was more than three years back, in March 2005, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a Championship match.
