Leeds United and Burton Albion will face each other at Elland Road in the Championship this weekend.

Leeds Manager Eddie Gray looks dejected during the FA Barclaycard Premiership match between Arsenal and Leeds United at Highbury on April 16, 2004 in London.

Eddie Gray has told LUTV that Leeds United will win against Burton Albion at home this weekend.

The West Yorkshire outfit will take on Burton at Elland Road in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Leeds legend Gray, 69, has backed the Whites to pick up all three points from the encounter courtesy of a 3-0 victory.

“3-0,” Gray told LUTV when asked to give his prediction for Saturday’s game. “I am quite confident.”

“We definitely have got the talent within the squad to break them down, and I think we are capable of doing that,” added Gray.

“I think we are more capable this season looking at the type of players we have got in the side of breaking teams down than we were last season.”

Leeds are one of the favourites to finish in the top six of the Championship this season.

Thomas Christiansen’s side are much better than Burton, and they will head into the game at Elland Road on Saturday as firm favourites.

The Whites, though, cannot get complacent, as Burton do have it in themselves to pick up a point at Elland Road.

Nigel Clough’s side will not be under any pressure, and one suspects that they will be happy with just a point.

Leeds’s home record in the Championship this season is not great. The Whites failed to win against Preston North End at Elland Road and drew goalless with Fulham last month.
