Tonight though Leeds can forget about promotion for 90 minutes and make sure they see off Accrington Stanley and make it to the Northern Final of The Johnstons Paint Trophy. Paddy Power can see only one winner and with Leeds at home it’s unthinkable there is even a chance of an upset. This is the first time these two sides have met in a competitive fixture; Leeds fans will be hoping that it is a historic fixture for all the right reasons.
1/4 Leeds United win
4/1 Draw
19/2 Accrington Stanley win
Winning breeds confidence and whilst this is a cup game Simon Grayson will want nothing less than a convincing win and to take all the positives from that into this weekend’s game against Southampton. Top of League One versus mid table of League Two should have punters going for a big win; Paddy Power make a 4-0 a good looking 12/1 chance. Leeds have a couple of players back who missed the Brentford game; Robert Snodgrass will had more attacking options down the flanks whilst Sam Vokes will be back looking for a starting spot up front. With plenty of options to choose from and Kisnorbo and Naylor both back to shore up the defence this should pass without too many worries for Leeds.

With an impressive away record Accrington won’t be allowed to be underestimated by Leeds and the manager will send out a team he thinks is capable of winning. Jermaine Beckford is just 11/4 to score the first tonight but that’s too short and he maybe one that starts on the bench and comes on if needed, so you may want to think of backing him to score last if you love backing Becks. Sam Vokes has been told he’ll be involved in some form and he’s a 9/2 chance to bag the opener but it’s the returning Snodgrass who looks cracking value at 13/2. The Scottish international missed the weekend game through suspension and will surely start this refreshed, he chips in with more than his fair share of goals too.
