Leeds v Millwall

(video no longer available)

It's funny how a couple of new faces can completely change the mood around a football club, isn't it?

Leeds are on an awful run of form with just one win in their last eight games. Promotion looked like it was slipping away from them already, but a weekend off and an opportunity to recharge the batteries could put them in a good place here.

The weekend without football did bring two new faces. Winger Ian Poveda joined from Manchester City while they also pulled off a coup for Championship level as they welcomed Jean-Kevin Augustin from RB Leipzig.

The latter is unlikely to be involved but Poveda could take his place in the squad. Leeds' Stuart Dallas spoke on Monday about how impressed he was with the way in which the youngster has adapted to his new environment.

It seems to have galvanised the Leeds fans. The belief is starting to come back and a win here will go a long way in ensuring that their promotion push returns to the right tracks.

As ever, Leeds are odds-on favourites for victory here but there continues to be value in the corners market and backing a high tally in their games at Elland Road.

The Whites are a high corner tally team. Visiting sides to Elland Road tend to sit on the back foot and look to hit Leeds on the counter. That sees the home side given opportunities to push forward which ends in plenty of balls going behind for a corner.

Their last three home games have seen them average eleven corners per fixture. A trend that you'd back to continue on Tuesday night.

13+ corners in the game is available at a best price of 9/4, which is where the best bet can be found after factoring in the handful of corners that Millwall will take.

Best bet:
