Leeds United and Leicester City face off on Friday night in one of the biggest clashes of the Championship season. It's first against second and a fascinating tie between two teams who have barely put a foot wrong over recent months.
The Whites have a chance to take a big step towards promotion while setting up a potential title race, while the Foxes can really begin to pull away with a memorable away win at Elland Road. In the meantime, we have put together a combined starting XI of the two teams based on performances so far this season. Take a look below.

5. RB - Archie Gray
Gray has been excellent wherever he has played this season, but he has mostly played at right-back. Ricardo Pereira may be a little better at this stage, but not when you factor in age and versatility. | Getty Images
