Sheffield Wednesday host Leeds this weekend.
Sheffield Wednesday goalkeeper Cameron Dawson has told the club’s official website he is excited to face Leeds United on Saturday.
The Owls beat Stoke City 1-0 on Tuesday night, with Dawson looking assured in goal to help earn his side three points.
Wednesday are in third place now, having closed the gap on second placed Leeds to just a point, after the Whites drew 1-1 at Preston North End.
Sheffield Wednesday are at home this weekend and Dawson’s comments speak volumes about the confidence in the Owls’ squad.
He said: “I’m looking forward to it.
“It’s an early kick-off and live on Sky Sports, it’s perfect, so we’ll go into it full of confidence and trying to get a positive result.”
Wednesday manager Garry Monk led former club Birmingham to two wins over Leeds last season, another of his old teams, and will be looking to keep that record up over Marcelo Bielsa.
Last season this corresponding fixture ended in a 1-1 draw with Adam Reach scoring a wondergoal, with Leeds winning the Elland Road game 1-0.
A win for the Owls would lift Wednesday above Leeds and into the automatic promotion spots.
