Leeds United will face Hull City at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon, in a second successive Yorkshire derby.

The Whites defeated Sheffield Wednesday away from home last week and at the heart of the midfield in that one, Ilia Gruev is looking to make it back-to-back wins before the team head into the international break.

Previewing the game with LUTV, the Bulgarian gave his thoughts on facing the Tigers.

“We feel very good after this important win for us,” Gruev reflected, on the victory at Hillsborough.

“I think we played very good football. You can feel it, the atmosphere is good. It's nice to win again and it gives you confidence for the next tasks.

“We wanted to win this game and it was very important for us. I think you can see it and feel it as a fan, and also as a viewer, that we wanted it.

“The way how we played it, I would say it was very mature. They were a good team and I think to perform in this way at this difficult away game, it was very important for us to go back on winning ways.

“I think after these two clean sheets and now the important away win, we are confident that we can play good football, attractive football.

“The most important thing is to win at home now. If we win this game, it would be four games, eight points. It would be very good.”
