Leeds United manager Thomas Christiansen is aware of the importance of tonight’s Championship clash against Sheffield United.
The Danish manager believes that any slip at Elland Road would be severely detrimental to Leeds’ promotion ambitions.
“We all have to face how important [this game] is,” Christiansen said.
“This game is not only three points. It’s (against) a direct rival and it’s important if we want to stay up there that we take the three points.
“We have a direct opponent who are in the top six. If we lose we will be seven points away from Sheffield United.
