SPORT: United Look To Overturn Leaders

Leeds play Bournemouth

Published 19th Jan 2015

Leeds United should not fear tonight's opponents - according to the Whites head coach. The Championship's top team Bournemouth come to Elland Road. But having turned over the Cherries in September at their place Redfearn's hoping for more of the same here tonight. "Bournemouth are riding high, but they're due to lose one. Everyone will expect them to come and turn us over. But there's no reason if we play with the right spirit and we get the rub of the green and things fall for us we can't get a result. "We beat them down there already, so they'll be wary of us, we know where they're a little bit vulnerable. I said right from the off, they're the best footballing team in the division, so it'll be a good game for us." And after the draw with Birmingham on Saturday at Elland Road, it's another crunch encounter for United, but Redfearn's taking those in his stride, "It is a big game, though every game's a big game since I've had the job! But we're playing with spirit, you can see that there's spirit amongst us." There could be a different look to the shape of the team too, "We did a spell with the diamond, then we ran out of steam with it a little bit. We've found a different way of playing now and I think we look better with width."
