“I think they are a very strong team,” Luhukay told The Yorkshire Post about Leeds. “They have unbelievable offensive quality.

“All four strikers are very effective. We have a lot of work on Saturday to stop their quality.”

Advantage Leeds United

Leeds do have a very good attacking unit – one of the best in the Championship, in fact, when all the players are on form.

Pablo Hernandez and Samuel Saiz are two of the best attacking midfielders in the Championship, while 10 goals in 19 league starts so far this season suggest that Pierre-Michel Lasogga is a decent striker.

Playing at home on Saturday afternoon will give Leeds an advantage, and the players will be determined to put on a show for the Elland Road faithful.

The Whites are pretty much out of the running for the Championship playoffs, but head coach Paul Heckingbottom will want the players to be on top form between now and the end of the season.
