Leeds United will face Derby County at Elland Road in the Championship on Friday evening.
Eddie Gray has said on LUTV that the match against Derby County will be difficult for Leeds United.
Leeds will return to action on Friday evening when they take on Derby at Elland Road in the Championship.
The West Yorkshire outfit have lost their last three competitive matches, and will head into the game against the Rams on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Queens Park Rangers away from home at Loftus Road in London in the third round of the FA Cup.
Former Leeds winger and manager Gray believes that Marcelo Bielsa’s side will find it hard against Derby, and he has also praised the progress that Frank Lampard’s side have made since they lost 4-1 to the Whites at the Pride Park Stadium in the Championship in August.
Gray told LUTV: “Overall, they have improved a lot since we played them at the start of the season. I think they have made progress, and it will be a difficult game.”
Progress
Derby were hugely disappointing against Leeds back in August, but the Rams have improved steadily since then and are very much in the running for promotion to the Premier League.
Lampard’s side are sixth in the league table at the moment, eight points behind leaders Leeds.
