one of the biggest matches that Leeds probably have left this season in terms of being tied
00:04
around them in the table. It is Sunderland at home of course in the reverse fixture,
00:09
Leeds seconds away from winning at the Stadium of Light until an Elan Mellier howler let Sunderland
00:15
get a point from the fixture. To be honest it's months on from it now and I still really don't
00:20
know what happened. No don't remind me yeah. Regardless of that though you think though
00:27
depending on how Sunderland do against Luton in midweek if they weren't perhaps to pick up all
00:32
three points and then Leeds were to then win against Sunderland if they'd done all right
00:37
against Watford as well you could probably say that might knock Sunderland a little bit just
00:41
further back mightn't it at least from maybe not from Burnley or Sheffield United but certainly
00:45
from Leeds. Yeah it feels a bit like that Burnley not quite as big obviously because Sunderland
00:51
aren't second but it does feel quite similar to that Burnley game you know in the sense of like
00:54
the six-point swing either way basically but could have a massive impact and stuff and
00:58
look I think everybody you know is sort of generally speaking thinking it'll be two from
01:02
three out of Leeds Sheffield United and Burnley but I don't think anybody's writing Sunderland
01:06
off they're not far away you know and obviously we're speaking before the midweek games here but
01:10
there's no doubt they're a good side you know some very very good players and you're dead right
01:15
like that is like I mean you probably look at it and say that's the second biggest game of the
01:20
season in terms of the ones coming up obviously Sheffield United one top of the bill but they're
01:23
all big in their own right but with it obviously being a direct rival yeah the Sunderland away game
01:28
is you know still sort of great now what happened there because obviously you know they've recovered
01:32
from an early setback and played very very well and look like they're going to get all three
01:35
points and obviously Melies Howler at the end but you know he's recovered from that obviously
01:39
since then and stuff and you know he'll be very very keen to sort of like put the record right
01:42
record straight against Sunderland as will Leeds in terms of like putting the record straight in
01:46
terms of like you know getting the win they probably felt they should have got at the stadium
01:49
of light but very very difficult game main thing there is obviously just don't get beat and allow
01:53
Sunderland to call three points back on you but look you don't go out at Ellen Road and say don't
01:57
get beat you know this is about going out there showing what Leeds can do showing that they are
02:01
the best team in the division and putting Sunderland away and that will definitely be the aim
02:04
it'll be interesting obviously first time back at Ellen Road since the cup defeat but hopefully
02:08
it'll be a completely different atmosphere um you know and obviously the dynamic could change
02:13
because obviously Leeds and Sunderland play on Monday when obviously um the other two teams
02:17
Sheffield United and Burnley both play at the weekend so the gap could be a lot lot tighter so
02:21
lots of ifs buts and maybes but not about the magnitude of the game huge huge fixture
02:25
um we all know the players they've got like Issa Dawes a fantastic player Chris Rigg really good
02:29
young talent obviously you know Bellingham Mayenda they've got some fantastic players
02:33
but obviously so have Leeds and that's why the top of the division you know so um yeah a massive
02:37
massive game um dead right one of the biggest games left towards the end of the season now
02:42
it's all coming towards the home straight and um just one that I think everybody we're really
02:45
looking forward to you know should be an amazing atmosphere um but I think it goes about saying
02:49
if Leeds can get three points in that one and continue the fantastic home record then that
02:52
hopefully will be a massive massive step towards our promotion so fingers crossed great game to
02:56
look forward to
