Leeds vs Middlesbrough: David Prutton is predicting a win for Boro
Monk guided Leeds to a seventh-place finish in the Championship last term before walking out on the club in May.
He then pitched up at Middlesbrough and, after a sluggish start to the season, has his new team up to fifth in the table.
Leeds - now managed by Thomas Christiansen - have lost seven of their last nine games to slip to 10th.
And former Whites midfielder David Prutton believes Christiansen’s side will not arrest their slide against Boro.

“It shows you how quickly things can change in the Sky Bet Championship.
“Leeds looked superb earlier in the season but things have gone badly wrong for Thomas Christiansen and his side, and all of a sudden this game on Sunday is a big, big occasion for them.
“That being said, I think Boro are in good form and will get all three points.”
Stuart Dallas and Caleb Ekuban have recovered from injury so Leeds have a fully-fit squad available.
Middlesbrough defender Cyrus Christie is suspended after picking up five yellow cards while Rudy Gestede (thigh) is a major doubt.
