Leeds boss wants players focussed on the points
Leeds United manager Dennis Wise does not want his side to be distracted by the occasion against Huddersfield Town this weekend.
The Whites take on their West Yorkshire neighbours at Elland Road nearly 20 years to the day since their last league encounter.
Saturday's early kick-off has been eagerly anticipated by both sets of supporters, although Wise wants his players to focus on the task at hand.
Importance
"I understand how important it is for the fans and the importance of the game," he told
Sky Sports News.
"We need to go out there in a professional manner and win the game."
Huddersfield's fans have been unhappy at the club's meagre 1,700 ticket allocation, although Wise is not concerning himself with the issue.
"Not my problem. Sling them [the away fans] in the corner out of the way," he continued.
"We don't want them behind our goal. It's up to the home team where they put the fans.
"We're pleased with [the fans] we're getting at the moment. I don't think anyone expected the number of fans we've had this year."
