Fulham v Leeds preview: Championship clash live on Sky Sports Football

Ryan Sessegnon could return to Fulham's starting line-up at home to Leeds United on Tuesday, live on Sky Sports Football from 7.30pm, after being named as a substitute for Friday's 2-0 win at Norwich.
Sessegnon came off the bench in the 54th minute and helped the Craven Cottage side to a 2-0 win. Slavisa Jokanovic may also start Aboubakar Kamara and Oliver Norwood after bringing them both off the bench at Carrow Road.
Tomas Kalas could also feature after being an unused substitute following a hip injury.
Leeds will be without Adam Forshaw and Liam Cooper for their trip to west London. Forshaw will be sidelined for some weeks because of a troublesome calf after suffering the injury in the 2-1 defeat at home to Sheffield Wednesday.
Cooper is also set to miss a few weeks after scans revealed the centre-half has torn a thigh muscle picked up in training last week. Both players face missing the rest of the season.
Opta stats
The last five league meetings between these sides have ended as draws, with the reverse fixture ending goalless this season.
Leeds are unbeaten in their last three league visits to Craven Cottage (W1 D2).
Slavisa Jokanovic has yet to lose against Leeds as manager, although four of his five encounters have been draws (W1).
Paul Heckingbottom, meanwhile, has lost all four of his Championship matches against Fulham, including two this season with Barnsley; the last manager to lose three Championship games against the same opponent in a season was Lee Clark in 2014/15 against Sheffield Wednesday.
Tom Cairney has had a hand in six goals in his last six league matches against Leeds (four goals, two assists), scoring exactly once in each of his last four matches against the Whites.
Leeds have lost 17 of their last 24 away league games in April (W4 D3), with their most recent victory coming in April 2016 away at Birmingham.
Prutton's prediction
It looks as though it's going to be the play-offs again for Fulham and they'll hope to be better prepared for it now than they were last season, when they were favourites going in but slipped up against Reading.
Leeds, meanwhile, just need the season to end with as little damage as possible to allow Paul Heckingbottom the chance to build his team in the summer. This is a home win for me.
David Prutton predicts: 3-1 (11/1 with Sky Bet)
