Rowett Acknowledges Leeds' Threat
Ahead of the highly anticipated encounter, Rowett spoke highly of Leeds, acknowledging their impressive squad and their ability to create chances with ease.

A Battle of Styles
Saturday's game promises to be an intriguing encounter, pitting Leeds' free-flowing attacking style against Millwall's organized and disciplined approach. The match is likely to be a tight affair, with both sides vying for control and victory.
Beyond the X-Factor
While Rowett acknowledges Leeds' special qualities, he also emphasizes the importance of Millwall's own strengths: "We know we'll have to be at our best to get something from this game. We have our own game plan and we need to execute it well."
A Crucial Encounter
The clash at Elland Road is a crucial fixture for both teams. Leeds will be aiming to solidify their position at the top of the table, while Millwall will be looking to maintain their push for a play-off spot. With both sides hungry for victory, expect a fiercely contested and entertaining match.
