Leeds is located in West Yorkshire, and the journey by car or coach from Cardiff City Stadium to the home of the Whites will take approximately four hours via the M50, M5, M42 and M1. The stadium postcode is LS11 0ES. The train journey to Leeds will take approximately 4 hours and 15 minutes, with a change at Bristol Parkway.

Leeds will seek to get back to winning ways after the stalemate at Burnley as they welcome Cardiff to Elland Road on Saturday (15:00 GMT). The Bluebirds are 18th, four points ahead of the drop-zone, while Whites have a two-point cushion over second-placed Sheffield United.

The fixture will take place on February 1st, with a kick-off time of 1pm.

Now leading second-placed Sheffield United by two points, Burnley by three and Sunderland by five, Leeds United will aim to continue their fine home form, having scored 35 goals and only conceded seven in those 15 matches in West Yorkshire, and further strengthen their position as frontrunners with a victory on Saturday.

Leeds United will pay tribute to young supporter Daniel Grace on Saturday afternoon, displaying a photo on the big screen in the 19th minute of the game, and we would like to encourage all supporters in attendance to take part in a minute of applause in his honour.
