Leeds entertain table toppers Leicester City in Simon Grayson`s first game in charge on Boxing Day.

Leeds have lost their last five games in a row which led to the dismissal of Gary McAllister after last Saturday`s 3-1 defeat at Milton Keynes, that defeat saw them drop down to ninth place five points outside the play offs.
Last time at home Leeds lost 2-1 against Colchester United.

As with any team bringing in a new manager- the players will be eager to impress-and they will be playing for their LUFC careers. We have the talent to see off the Foxes if we play to our best. Expect a performance. MOT.
