Leeds United winger Jack Harrison expecting tough test against battling Wigan Athletic


Manchester City loanee Harrison struck the only goal of the game in Saturday’s hosting of Sheffield Wednesday which has left Leeds with a three-point cushion in the Championship’s second automatic promotion spot with just four games to play.
United know that 10 points from their final four fixtures would guarantee automatic promotion to the Premier League after a 15-year absence and Marcelo Bielsa’s Whites next face a side desperately scrapping to avoid the drop to League One.

The Latics also have easily the worst away record in the division having taken just seven points on their travels.
Wigan’s sole away win came at Stoke City in August but the Latics held leaders Norwich City to a 1-1 draw on Sunday and Harrison has plenty of respect for Paul Cook’s side.
“We need to get the win just to keep it going,” said Harrison.
“But we can’t get too ahead of ourselves.
“Wigan are a good side and I think every game at this point is going to be a tough game so we can’t get too carried away.”
