Cardiff City manager Neil Harris has sparked a reaction from some Leeds United fans about the potential of the two sides meeting up when the Championship season returns, saying that his team could “have a right go” at the Whites despite winning just one of their last five games.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side have been gradually been returning to the Thorp Arch training ground ahead of the Championship season’s return, with the EFL giving the green light for the campaign to resume from 20 June as Leeds seek to return to the Premier League after a 16-year absence.
Sitting top of the league and in the automatic promotion places, Bielsa’s side are firm favourites to go up, although the coronavirus pandemic has left the Argentine, players and Leeds fans waiting to see that ambition being achieved.
The Whites’ next Championship fixture is scheduled to be against Cardiff and the Bluebirds’ boss has commented boldly on the potential fixture, sparking a reason from these Leeds supporters on Twitter:
Neil Harris thinks it may be Leeds up first for Cardiff. Backing his side to “have a right go” after their fine form pre-lockdown. One win in five. #lufc https://t.co/6fbvkGKseg
