Speaking to Sportskeeda, he said: “I remember this game from last year - Leicester won the match by a 4-1 margin, but Leeds were impressive on the day.
"Leicester are struggling a bit in the Premier League at the moment. They lost to Arsenal last weekend and it now looks like they'll also be out of the Europa League.
“Leeds are also finding it quite difficult in the Premier League. They got a good result against Norwich last week but they weren't particularly impressive.
