Pontus Jansson loves Leeds United till death but wants them to lose so that Brentford can pass them in the table

Leeds United will look to bounce back from back to back Championship defeats when they visit Brentford tomorrow.

Marcelo Bielsa’s men have won just one of their last six league games, losing four, and are now level on points with third-placed Fulham.

Only two points separate Leeds from fifth-placed Brentford, and former Elland Road favourite Pontus Jansson is hoping the Whites lose every game now so that his side can pass them in the table.

The Swedish centre-back fell out with Bielsa at Leeds last season and was allowed to join Brentford in the summer.

Jansson insists he still loves Leeds, though, and wants them to earn Premier League promotion, but tomorrow’s clash is all about helping his team to much-needed victory – one that would further deal a blow on the Whites’ ambitions.
