What has been said ahead of Blackburn Rovers vs Leeds United?

Leeds boss Daniel Farke has said: “If they (Blackburn) win their game in hand and you should expect this they sit in the top six. They’ve proved this with good results and performances. We know it’s not an easy place to go. They had a bit more time in the past week to recover and on the training pitch. It’s a tough test and will be another difficult game. Expect a tight game, have to fight and use every per cent to win as many points as possible.”

He also hailed the fans: “It’s outstanding, I think the supporters are the most valuable asset of this club. Very enthusiastic, they can play the important part to be 12th man. Sometimes these emotions can be a bit difficult for young players, it’s up to me to help them keep their nerves in emotional situations. We have one big unity with our supporters. To have such travelling support is amazing, extra motivation to make our supporters happy. We want to send them back with a positive performance and result.”

Blackburn manager Eustace has said: “It will be a tough challenge, they’re top of the league for a reason. The manager knows how to get out of the league and it will be a good challenge for us against a top side.

“The lads are confident because performances have been good. Watford was good, the first half against Sheffield United was good. We have spoken about setbacks from that game and not dropping our heads.”
