It’s a big night in the Sky Bet Championship tonight, as fifth place Leeds United host seventh place Derby County at Elland Road.
A win for the visitors would see them climb into the Play-Off places, whilst a home victory would see Leeds stretch eight points clear of seventh place, leaving them just four adrift of the automatic promotion places.
Garry Monk has already spoken this week of his thoughts with regards to Leeds’ congested fixture schedule, but has said that he is still looking forward to the game.
He’s not the only one. Leeds United fans have been taking to Twitter ahead of tonight’s encounter:
This fan fancies himself as a bit of a Garry Monk.

This Leeds United supporter thinks a point would be a good result for his side.
Would normally be confident tonight but with the lack of defence I'd probably take a point #lufc #dcfc

Can Leeds tick one win off at Elland Road tonight?
About 10 wins to guarantee playoffs I'll be counting down starting tonight #lufc

The incentive is there, but this fan would still settle for a point.
Such a big game tonight, 8 points clear of 7th if we can get the win, would take a point though! #lufc

This fan is full of praise for Leeds United’s players and managerial staff.

It’s the biggest game of the season according to this fan, do you agree?

This fan has taken it a step further…biggest game in six year Leeds fans?
Very nervous for tonight. Biggest game in 6years. These are the games we've been dying to be involved in for too long. Time to step up #lufc

One game at a time Adam, one game at a time.
An #lufc win tonight will set us up very nicely for the next 3 (Barnsley, Forest, Blackburn)

This supporter views tonight’s game as a six pointer…
#lufc the first true six pointer of the season
