United boss preparing for Huddersfield trip...
Leeds United manager Simon Grayson is adamant that Saturday's trip to face Huddersfield Town is a big game - because it's the next one.
United head for the Galpharm on Saturday (12.30pm) looking to strengthen the position in second place by picking up three points at the expense of Play-Off chasing Huddersfield.
The Terriers are unbeaten in the last three encounters with Leeds - our last win was a 4-0 success in December 2007 - and this fixture traditionally receives plenty of hype in West Yorkshire.
"Geographically, it's local but more importantly Huddersfield are behind us in the league and need to pick up points to claw back that difference," said Grayson.
"There's no extra points on offer for beating Huddersfield just like there wasn't for beating Oldham the other night.
"It's about two good teams on Saturday. It was a good game at Elland Road and could have gone either way.
"Huddersfield have the advantage, but we're going there to win and we know we can do that.
"It's an opportunity to put a show on. It could be a great advert for League One football, and it's an opportunity for a positive result.
"As for being a big game, it is, game simply because it's the next one. Once this has gone Brentford is a big one."
Grayson has a near full strength squad to select from with only Ben Parker, Rui Marques, and Shane Higgs missing due to injury.
Tresor Kandol could come back into the squad after injury.
