Six days after Leeds United produced their performance of the season so far, they make the short trip to local rivals, Huddersfield for this 12:30pm kick off on Saturday.
For Huddersfield, it's the big match of their season and fans have even been printing and displaying posters around the town in preparation for the 'Big Game'. The view of Leeds fans is that it is still frustrating we are playing the likes of Huddersfield, rather than back playing Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea!
Leeds hit form last week, but it remains to be seen if that was a one off, or something more sustainable. McDermott switched to a 5-3-2/3-5-2 formation and will stick to it tomorrow, most likely with the same starting eleven, although loan signing, Dextor Blackstock is expected to be named on the bench. Matt Smith will keep his place after an impressive first start and two well taken goals.
Captain Rudolph Austin produced an inspired performance and will be critical if Leeds are to continue where they left off against Birmingham.
Huddersfield meanwhile are struggling this season, drawing five and losing four of their opening twelve games. Just three wins leaves them in 14th place in the table and they haven't won a game since mid-September. Leading scorer, Jason Vaughan starts the first of a three match suspension which is not going to help their cause.
We're going for a 2-0 Leeds victory!
