Leeds United legend Eddie Gray has told LUTV that he expects his former side to beat Ipswich Town on Saturday.

Elland Road plays host tomorrow afternoon as the Championship leaders look to bounce back from a dismal 1-0 defeat away to Millwall last week.

That was Leeds’ first defeat, and the first goal they had conceded in 636 minutes of league football, but the Whites received the perfect pick-me-up by knocking Premier League side Burnley out of the League Cup on penalties in midweek.

For Ipswich, Mick McCarthy’s side recovered from back-to-back league defeats by beating bottom-of-the-table Bolton Wanderers at Portman Road last week, but ex-Whites winger Gray feels that Thomas Christiansen’s side will have too much for the Tractor Boys.

He told LUTV: “They’re doing well, Ipswich. It’ll be a tough game, but I feel we’ve got the players within the ranks. I can see us winning the game reasonably comfortably.”

Leeds have been outstanding for the most part this season and if they have the likes of Pontus Jansson and Liam Cooper back in the middle of defence, which they didn’t have at Millwall due to the latter’s absence, then you’d fancy a home win tomorrow.
