Leeds United have 'Premier League quality' all over the pitch, but Sunderland interim head coach Mike Dodds is relishing the challenge of his side facing the Elland Road atmosphere tonight.
“The Championship is a brutal and relentless league," he said. "You can look at the results every single week and there will always be a couple in there that are eyebrow raisers. That being said, Coventry are a really good team so the result doesn’t surprise me completely. Leeds' formidable unbeaten Elland Road record makes them strong favourites to keep the pressure on Leicester City and Ipswich Town in the race for an automatic promotion spot. However, Dodds is relishing the experience of dealing with the hostile home crowd - and refutes any idea of the game being a 'free hit' for this side.
“We are looking forward to it. I’m looking forward to it. I don’t know whether that’s arrogance or an ego thing but these are the types of games I relish, to step out at 30,000-plus fans at Elland Road, and not many people can say that.
