Oxford United
David faces Goliath at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon as Leeds United and Oxford United square off against each other in the Championship round 22. The Whites are seen as hot favourites to win this match, but the promotion hopefuls will have to prove their worth on the field. It has to be noted that Leeds United are on an eight-game winning run at home ground. Even though both Junior Firpo and Ilia Gruev remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered as Leeds have turned their stadium into a real fortress.
The Yellows, on the other hand, have been slipping down the standings week by week and, as a result, they are sitting in the relegation zone ahead of Matchday 23. Anyhow, we are tempted to put our money on the hosts as Oxford United have suffered four defeats in the previous five league matches. The likes of Bennett, Dembele, Sibley, Thorniley, and Woltman remain in the treatment room.
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.
