Garry Monk’s Sheffield Wednesday will face Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United on Saturday.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Garry Monk has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that Leeds United were unlucky last season.

Monk has also said that he is proud of the work he did at Leeds when he was in charge of the West Yorkshire outfit during the 2016-17 campaign.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, the former Swansea City manager left his role at Elland Road in May 2017 after Andrea Radrizzani completed his takeover of the Whites.

Wednesday will take on Leeds at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

The Whites finished third in the league table last season and lost to Derby County in the semi-final playoffs.

Monk told The Yorkshire Evening Post: “Leeds were fantastic last season and were unlucky to miss out as they did. I’ve said it many times, I’m proud of the work I did there. I enjoyed my time there but the focus is on trying to win.”

Big game this weekend

Wednesday are doing well under Monk this season and are very much in the running for promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of the season.

The Owls are just a point being second-placed Leeds in third place, and a win this weekend will be massive for the hosts.
