Since 1983 we have met Leeds 12 times in league action at Elland Road, winning 4, losing 5 and drawing 3, so the honours are almost even, although they have scored 24 goals against our 14. Town are the form team at the moment whilst Leeds are really struggling, BUT this is a local derby where the stakes are always very high for both clubs, so I'm expecting a very hard fought match where current form goes completely out of the window.
My gut feeling is that it will end in a 2-2 draw, although I wouldn't be surprised if Leeds nick it 2-1 to save Gary Monk's bacon. On the other hand, if we can come away with all 3 points I reckon this will signify to other teams that we really do mean business this season, although looking at the number of points we have secured late on in most games to date, I worry that once all the other teams reach our fitness levels, this could soon come to an end.
So, it's everything to play for on Saturday and lets hope I'm wrong with my gut feeling.
