Prediction: 2-0
Blackburn Rovers
All eyes will be on Elland Road when Leeds United and Blackburn Rovers square off against each other in a highly-anticipated Championship game. The Whites are on a three-game winning run in the league and they must be high on confidence ahead of Wednesday’s encounter. Both Daniel James and Manor Solomon should be recalled to the starting XI after coming as substitutes in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Derby County, while both Firpo and Gruev remain in the recovery room.
The Riversiders, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing to both Millwall and Hull City, while sharing the spoils with Sunderland. Leeds United are more of a team than Blackburn Rovers and seeing that John Eustace’s men struggle on the travels, home win should be considered. Both Hayden Carter and Scott Wharton are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
Highlighted Team (Leeds United):
Leeds United is one of the clubs that won the FA Cup. The Whites outplayed Arsenal in the final of the prestigious competition back in 1972, but they clinched the League Cup trophy as well. Leeds United faced the Gunners in the 1967/1968 League Cup final and it has to be noted that Terry Cooper scored the winner for the Whites.
Leeds play their home games at Elland Road and the capacity of the stadium is 37,914. The club was founded in 1919 and they have won three First Division (Premier League) trophies ever since (1968/1969, 1973/1974, 1991/1992). Leeds United made it to the Champions League final in 1975, but they were beaten by Bayern Munich in the title clash.
The Whites were impressive under David O’Leary. The likes of Jonathan Woodgate, Lee Bowyer, Harry Kewell, Mark Viduka and Ian Harte were part of the Elland Road outfit back then and they did well to reach the semis of the Champions League in 2001.
