Leeds United are aiming to get 2025 off to the best possible start when they take on Yorkshire rivals Hull City this weekend.

2024 ended on a damp note for Leeds United as they once again failed to beat Blackburn Rovers and found a baffling new way to do it.

Daniel Farke’s side took the lead in the 88th minute when Pascal Struijk converted from the penalty spot yet they couldn’t hold on for even two minutes before Danny Batth equalised.

It was an opportunity missed for Leeds to put some distance between themselves and Burnley and Sheffield United but they still sit at the top of the Championship table with a three-point advantage.

But to ensure they keep hold of their position they must get back to winning ways against Hull City this weekend.

Here’s everything you need to know about the fixture.

After the hectic festive period, the fixture calendar returns to normal this weekend and that means Leeds are playing at 3 pm on Saturday and thus the game will not be televised in the UK due to the football blackout rule.

That also means there won’t be a live stream of the match but BBC Radio Leeds will provide live commentary.

Hull City vs Leeds team news

Leeds continue to have concerns at full-back as both Sam Byram and Jayden Bogle were forced off the field in Wednesday’s draw with Rovers.

With Junior Firpo also still sidelined, Farke will be sweating on the fitness of both the full-backs’ fitness.

Ilia Gruev is still ruled out as well.

Meanwhile, Hull will be without Ryan Longman, Mohamed Belloumi, Liam Millar, Karl Rushworth, Charlie Hughes, Kasey Palmer and the suspended Oscar Zambrano.

Predictions

Hull are down in the relegation zone, languishing in 22nd place, and Leeds should be able to comfortably ease past them.

Yet, the Tigers are capable of pulling a result out of nowhere and managed to beat Blackburn themselves last week where Leeds failed. They shouldn’t be underestimated.

Prediction: Hull 1-2 Leeds.
