Jaka Bijol: The rivalry fuels us

Defender looks ahead to Wednesday’s match.

Jaka Bijol v City

Leeds United return to Premier League action as Chelsea Football Club come to Elland Road Wednesday night for what is certain to be an entertaining fixture.

After showing real fight in coming from 2-0 behind to equalise against Manchester City at the Etihad Saturday, Daniel Farke’s men will be full of belief for tomorrow’s clash.

Ahead of the clash, Jaka Bijol believes that the Whites can be confident despite Chelsea’s strong side and form.

“They are a really good young team that are just getting better as time passes. When they’re on their top level, they can beat literally everyone.

“But honestly, at Elland Road, every away team is going to have a difficult time. I'm sure they're going to have a hard time as well.

“When there is a rivalry in the game too, like with Leeds and Chelsea, that fuels the fans, but it also fuels us. There is even more incentive to go out and get a win.”

“We are going to give our best until the end. We love seeing the fans in the stadium singing, home and away. So, stick with us and we will keep working hard and I am sure we will get the results we need.”
