Leeds will be looking to continue their mini resurgence when they take on Crystal Palace at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon.
Since succeeding Jesse Marsch in February, Javi Gracia has won three of his six Premier League games in charge of the Whites, and Leeds have clambered their way to 13th in the table.

It has been all change at Palace too, with Roy Hodgson helping to restore some order after Patrick Vieira was dismissed following a woeful run of results.
Gracia will have a few selection dilemmas to contend with ahead of the clash thanks to the form of his wingers.
Although Palace and Leeds are both hovering around mid-table obscurity, their top-flight statuses are far from assured, and this is still a six-pointer for both sides.
To whet your appetite for this one, we have delved into the markets and pinpointed a couple of tips for you to consider adding to your betting slips.
Leeds to continue winning ways
Bar their horror show against Arsenal, Leeds have looked a bit calmer and they have been desperately trying to shake off the kamikaze tag that they have been associated with.
The 2-1 victory against Nottingham Forest in midweek seemed to suggest that, and they have had joy against Palace, winning both of their previous league encounters at home without conceding.
More intriguingly, Gracia is unbeaten in all of his three league meetings with Palace, and that seems to augur well.
In stark contrast, Roy Hodgson has lost five of his six matches (83%) against Leeds, and that is the highest losing percentage against a team who he has faced more than once in the competition.
For my first pick, I have gone with Leeds to pick up all three points and to win to nil, a price that is available at 9/4 with Paddy Power.

Jack Harrison to make a big impact again
As mentioned, Leeds’ nimble wingers have provided extra creativity and spark.
Luis Sinisterra has produced some eye-catching displays, but the same could be said of Jack Harrison.
With Harrison, he has weighed in with six assists, and he has hit a purple patch in front of goal, netting three times in his past four league outings.
Harrison was one of my picks earlier this week to score against Forest, and I am cosying up to him once again, this time to break the deadlock. If you fancy following up on that, then Harrison is available at an enticing 10/1 with William Hill to net the opening goal of the game.
