Leeds United will come up against Bradley Johnson tomorrow, when they take on Derby County.

Former Leeds United midfielder Bradley Johnson has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that he will be giving all his Derby County teammates the heads up on what it’s like to play at Elland Road.

Derby are set to face Leeds at Elland Road tomorrow evening, and it is a stadium which Johnson knows very well.

Johnson spent three years at Leeds between 2008 and 2011, helping the side earn promotion to the Championship.

And the central midfielder has suggested that although he loved playing at Leeds, the fans can turn if things go against them.

“It is a great stadium to play in,” Johnson said.

“I played there for four years throughout my career, I have been there in full houses and they do get behind the team.

“We are going to go there, we have experience in our team and a few young lads, I’ll be telling them what it is like to play in front of the Elland Road crowd.

“If we go there on the front foot and put our stamp on the game, then the fans might turn and that’s something we would hope to do.”

Derby have lost all three of their meetings with Leeds so far this season, so Frank Lampard’s men will need a change in fortunes for Johnson’s plan to work.

Derby go into the second leg trailing 1-0 on aggregate, after Leeds had the better of the first clash between the pair.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men were back to their best at the weekend, as a goal from Kemar Roofe provided them with an advantage.

Leeds are set to be without both Roofe and Adam Forshaw tomorrow evening, in what could be a big blow to Bielsa’s side.
