Leeds face Blackpool in search of a vital three points.

Leeds welcome Blackpool to Elland Road on Saturday and will be hoping to three points for the first time in eight games. Tuesday nights 2-2 draw with Charlton means the Whites haven't won a game since September and have picked up just four points from their last eight fixtures. 

United looked to have all three points in the bag until a dubious penalty decision earned the visitors a point, which can be said to be harsh on the hosts. Manager, Neil Redfearn said: "We'll go into Saturday and I want the same sort of performance. If we keep working hard, our luck will change."

The Whites currently sit just two points off the relegation places and face a tough run of fixtures against sides in and around the play-off picture after Saturday's clash with Blackpool. 

Blackpool currently sit rock bottom of the Sky Bet Championship and they have just one win to their name so far this campaign. The Tangerines threw away a 2-0 lead at Fulham on Wednesday and ended up drawing 2-2 after they had gone down to 10 men just before half time. Bryan Ruiz scored directly from a corner to bring the home side level and prevented Blackpool from earning their first away win since April 2014.

The club sacked manager Jose Riga and replaced him with former Birmingham boss, Lee Clark. Clark knows what it's like to manage a side struggling in a relegation battle and he will be hoping he can rescue Blackpool from what looks to be certain relegation. 

The club are the Championships lowest scorers so far this season and the 2-2 draw at Fulham was only the second time they have scored more than one goal in a game this campaign. Lee Clark will be hoping his sides fortunes change when they visit Elland Road on Saturday.

Alex Mowatt has been the sides stand out player in recent games and he has found the net three times in his last two appearances. Adryan returned to the side and he was influential in creating chances against Charlton, in a game the Whites were bitterly disappointed not to win. Rudy Austin has been missed and Leeds will be hoping to have the Jamaican powerhouse available for Saturday. 

Giuseppe Bellusci earned himself a fifth yellow card of the season and will therefore miss the game on Saturday. Liam Cooper, who replaced the suspended Pearce, will be expected to play alongside the man he replaced on Tuesday night. 

Leeds haven't lost to Blackpool in their last three encounters and will be hoping to extend that run when the sides meet on Saturday. Luke Murphy bagged a brace the last time the sides met in a 2-0 win at Elland Road last season.
