Leeds going with no-fear approach as they clash with Manchester United
While Leeds are slowly trying to get back to their dominant status that they had in the past, tomorrow the club will have to pull one over their rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Leeds are top of League One and have only lost twice this season, already giving Liverpool a scare in a September Carling Cup tie.
Leeds striker Robert Snodgrass said, “Sunday will test the team and test our character but we are full of confidence and we give ourselves every chance.”
He continued: “"In the Carling Cup this season we beat Watford and gave Liverpool a good game before losing 1-0.
"And you don’t have to try to get yourself motivated for a trip to Old Trafford - everyone is raring to go.”
More than 9,000 Leeds fans are expected to make the trip across the Pennines, with the police on high-alert for possible clashes between the two sets of supporters.
Sir Alex Ferguson has agreed that Leeds are currently re-surging. He said, "They will not be too far away from the Premier League in the next couple of years,“ said Ferguson.
"When you look at the position they are in at the moment in League One, they look certain to be in the Championship next year.”
“We had some great games at Leeds. The atmosphere was always electric and our record was pretty good.
"We don’t need to spell out what Sunday’s game means to the Manchester United fans,” admitted Ferguson.
“But it will be an absolutely brilliant atmosphere and should be a good cup tie as well.”
Well what do you predict will come of this encounter?
