Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United and Frank Lampard’s Derby County will face each other at Elland Road on Wednesday.
Leeds United will head into the second leg of their Championship playoff semi-final tie against Derby County at home on Wednesday evening high on confidence.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side won the first leg of the tie 1-0 away from home at the Pride Park Stadium this past Saturday.
Kemar Roofe scored the only goal of the match between the Rams and the Whites in the second half.
The West Yorkshire outfit will be confident of getting the job done in the second leg in front of their own hands at Elland Road on Wednesday evening.
Leeds were better than Derby over the course of the ‘regular’ Championship season, and given the quality of players they have and with the fans behind them at Elland Road, the Whites will be confident of progressing to the final from the tie.
Former Aston Villa and Wales international striker Saunders has given his take on the tie, and he has suggested how Derby should approach the second leg and how they can win.
Saunders said on The Final Word show on talkSPORT on Sunday evening (8:10pm, May 12, 2019): “Keep your head, don’t get sent off. That’s number one in the playoffs. Don’t get sent off. Don’t give daft penalties away. And then you need a bit of luck.”
