Crawley sit 15th in League Two currently and Yems has told his players to earn a place in what he has called the biggest home game in the club's history, with their league performances.

“That’s the bread and butter. If they don’t keep their minds on the league, then people won’t get picked for the cup game, it’s simple," he said.

“The league’s your bread and butter, Leeds is just the cherry on top at the minute. Let’s concentrate and do the best we can in the league.

“We got loads of work before the Leeds game. It’s nice going over Christmas knowing you have got Leeds at the end of it. But let’s get the league form back first."

The two sides have never met before.
