Millwall manager Neil Harris has been previewing his side’s trip to Leeds United on Sunday.
Harris will be taking charge of his fifth match as Millwall boss since returning for a second spell, and in that time, he has picked up an impressive 10 points from four matches.
Millwall were actually able to win at Leeds’ promotion rivals Southampton in his first game back, and so this weekend’s match will certainly be a tough game.
Leeds will be looking to go top of the Championship for the first time all season heading into the international break, and know that a win by two or more goals would be enough to do so.
This is a fixture Harris is extremely familiar with from his time as a player and manager, and speaking to Southwark News ahead of the match, he couldn’t resists a little subtle dig about his previous record against Leeds.
Harris aims subtle Leeds dig
He said: “When West Ham and Palace and Charlton aren’t in the league, then yeah Leeds is the next one [that I look forward to].
“I’m fortunate to have played in, scored and managed in quite a lot of these games and have a tremendous record against Leeds. I enjoy it and want my players to enjoy it.”
Millwall will not make it easy for Leeds based on how they have performed under Harris so far but a nice nine-day break should have the squad feeling refreshed again.
Leeds came out of a relentless run of matches with a superb return of points, even with key players such as Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter clearly feeling the pace of it.
However, hopefully they are now fully rested and able to get one over on Harris who is clearly up for this game. A performance like the one at the Den in September would be nice.
