Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United will face Frank Lampard’s Derby County on Wednesday.
The former Leeds right-back has warned the West Yorkshire outfit against getting carried away with the occasion.
Leeds will take on Derby in the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final tie at Elland Road on Wednesday evening.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side won the first leg of the tie 1-0 away from home at the Pride Park Stadium this past Saturday, thanks to Kemar Roofe’s goal in the second half.
Mills said on Sky Sports News on Monday morning (11:51am, May 13, 2019): “Leeds are now in the box seat, but they have got to be careful not to get wrapped up in the occasion. There will be 34,000 Leeds fans.”
Mills added: “They have got to make sure there’s not too much adrenaline going through the system, they don’t get carried away with the occasion.”
Big game
Leeds narrowly missed out on automatic promotion to the Premier League, but the Whites seem to have bounced back strongly from their disappointment.
The Whites will be favourites heading the second leg at Elland Road, but the home team’s players need to keep their cool and have to defend strongly, especially in the opening minutes.
Derby will know that they can overturn a one-goal deficit, and Leeds simply cannot get complacent.
