    Huddersfield Town vs Leeds Utd
    2nd March@12:30pm|John Smiths Stadium


    Leeds find themselves back in league action on Saturday lunchtime against local rivals Huddersfield Town

    Having travelled to Swansea, Plymouth and Chelsea in recent weeks, a 30 minute jaunt down the M62 will be a welcome relief for the Elland Road faithful, even if it does involve a typically unpredictable West Yorkshire Derby.

    The Whites ran out 4-1 victors in the reverse fixture at the end of October, but have recently hit a bit of form. They netted three times at St Marys, smashed four past the Wendies, edged past Sunderland, and inflicted defeat on Watford. Even so, 17 places and 35 points separate the two sides.

    Crysencio Summerville looks set to start his 31st game of the season. He turned his ankle last weekend, and was unable to train on Monday, but showed no sign of letting up when coming on as a late substitute against Chelsea midweek.

    Patrick Bamford is back in full training after recovering from a recent knock. The 30yo is likely to start on Saturday, which will see Joel Piroe drop to the bench. Ilea Gruev will face a late fitness test on Friday to determine whether he makes the trip to the John Smith's Stadium.

    Leeds have no fresh injury concerns. Struijk (groin), Dallas (leg), Darlow (dislocated thumb) are again ruled out. Fit again Sam Byram will probably start on the bench, with Farke preferring Junior Firpo.

    At last, proper footie again. It really is a ridiculous race at the top. We might end up needing nine wins out of twelve, which is some ask, if the chasing pack, mainly Ipswich don't ease up. At least the early kick off gives us the chance to add the pressure to their fixture if we win

    Must win game for me, as I live in Terriertown. Thought Hogg was a nasty bar steward last time we played em. Just hoping that, if Archie plays midfield, Hogg doesn’t go out to crock him. Hopefully a 5-0 win for us but 1-0 will suffice.

    Hope their new coach messes with their new found confidence. Didn’t realise he managed or was assistant at Hoffenheim when Georgie was there, so he’ll know all about him.

    Hmm think Klaeson is the better keeper, but who am i to question Farke.

    Ok here we go and going to be a really tough game this one.

    Fingers crossed as we really need the three points.

    Mon the Whites lets get this 10 in a row by smashing the dog botherers and put the pressure on Leicester as we narrow it down to 3 points.
