Leeds United head to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea City tomorrow for a clash which could see the winners finishing 2007 at the top of League One. Swans striker Andy Robinson is in no doubt that his side will face one of their sternest examinations of the season against a Leeds side who would be 12 points clear at the top but for their 15 points deduction.
'They have obviously got a great team spirit and we all know they are going to be a good side,' said Robinson. 'I missed the game up there, but the boys told me that Leeds have adapted to the physical battle in League One really well and that's a credit to them. It's a huge game, one of the biggest of my career because Leeds are a massive, massive club. But our dressing room is full of confidence and we go into it believing we can take all three points.'
Meanwhile Leeds boss Dennis Wise has demanded a positive response to the Whites below-par showing at Hartlepool on Boxing Day. 'We'll probably play better against them than the last couple of games because it's a massive top-of-the-table clash,' he predicted. 'I think that will suit us, and I hope it will suit us. It's a big game with a big crowd, and you should be excited by that as a player because I am as a manager. I'll get my lads going. Swansea will be up there in May, and Nottingham Forest as well. We know what we've got to get out of these games.'
