Leeds United will face Liverpool and Aston Villa in their next two competitive matches.
Leeds United attacker Souleymane Doukara has suggested to The Yorkshire Evening Post that the match against Aston Villa is more important that the game against Liverpool.
The West Yorkshire outfit will take on Liverpool away from home at Anfield in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup on Tuesday evening.
The Whites will then face Villa at Elland Road in the Championship next weekend.
Doukara, who is 25 years of age and can operate as a striker or as a winger, has commented ahead of the two matches.
While the attacker has underlined the importance of the match against Liverpool, he has suggested that Leeds need to keep an eye on the game against Villa.
“Everyone is excited for this game,” Doukara told The Yorkshire Evening Post. “We’re looking forward to it but we need to stay focused on the Championship. Liverpool’s a cup game. Most important are the league games.
“Everybody’s focused on Aston Villa as well because it’s going to be a hard game. They won again on Saturday and they’re a good team with offensive players who can make the difference.”
Leeds have done well to progress as far as the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.
Winning against Liverpool at Anfield is not going to be easy, and a defeat should not have an adverse affect on the Whites.
Garry Monk’s side side going strong in the Championship, and next weekend’s match against Villa at Elland Road is certainly hugely important.
Leeds, though, should try their best to win against Liverpool on Tuesday evening.
