Leeds United can take what might be the final step towards a return to the Premier League when they face Stoke City.

It’s been a rollercoaster of a season but Leeds United have managed to get their act back together at the perfect time.

Daniel Farke’s side won their third game in a row on Good Friday by edging out Oxford United 1-0, with Manor Solomon’s first-half strike making the difference.

However, with Sheffield United returning to winning ways earlier in the day, Leeds can not secure promotion simply by defeating Stoke City.

Instead, Leeds will have to pick up the three points and hope Sheffield United fail to beat Burnley in the following game to get their return to the Premier League set in stone.

Here is everything you need to know about the fixture.

Leeds United vs Stoke City kick-off

Leeds United vs Stoke team news

There was a worrying sight late on at the Kassam Stadium, as in-form goal-scorer Solomon limped off the field with what appeared to be an injury.

However, Farke says Solomon should be fine for Monday as he was only suffering from cramp.

“Let’s see if Daniel James is available [for Easter Monday],” Farke said at full-time. “Solomon had some cramps. I suspect he will also be ready for the [Stoke] game.”

Solomon himself said on LUTV: “Yeah, just cramp, I’ll be all good for Monday.”

With James making his return to action against Oxford, that leaves only Joe Rothwell on the sidelines.

Prediction

It’s hard to ever be too confident with nerves so often getting the better of Leeds United but they were composed and controlled at Oxford and there’s no reason for that to change.

The intense atmosphere might become a problem if a goal isn’t scored early but, if one is, then Leeds should cruise to victory.

Prediction: Leeds United 2-0 Stoke City.
