Redfearn believes Leeds United will be too strong for Derby.

Former Leeds United boss Neil Redfearn has told TV Yorkshire that he believes the Whites will be too strong for Derby County next weekend.
Leeds face the Rams at the iPro Stadium on Saturday October 15 in their first match back after the international break.
For once Leeds appear the more stable club of the two teams, having won four of their last five league games under Garry Monk.

Derby have had a disappointing start to the season and uncertainty hangs over their managerial situation, with Nigel Pearson suspended and Chris Powell stepping up in his absence.
Redfearn believes Leeds will have enough to pull off another key win and continue their march up the Championship table.
He told TV Yorkshire: “They have just come off the back of a win and a draw under Chris Powell and I think it will be a different Derby County in the next game, but I still fancy Leeds to have too much for Derby.”

Leeds have had a mixed record against Derby in recent seasons, but will have fond memories of winning 2-1 at the iPro last season under Uwe Rosler.
Chris Wood scored an impressive long range winner late in the game, with former loanee Tom Adeyemi also on the scoresheet. Chris Martin, now controversially loaned out to Fulham, scored Derby’s goal in the encounter.
