Leeds United take on Huddersfield Town this weekend at Elland Road. The Whites will be looking to take another step towards automatic promotion with a victory whereas the Terriers are in need of the points to create a safe distance between themselves and the drop-zone.
Fraizer Campbell, who currently plays for Danny Cowley’s side, has been talking about the upcoming Yorkshire derby and has described it as being ‘extra special’ for the fans of both clubs (via the Yorkshire Evening Post).
Do you see the weekend's Yorkshire derby as extra special?
Yes
No
What have the Leeds faithful made of the 32-year-old’s comments?
No it’s not.

What do we think?
These Leeds United supporters believe this is a one-way rivalry and have their eyes firmly fixed on the prize of automatic promotion. Fraizer Campbell was born in Huddersfield and is now representing his hometown club after spells at Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Hull City (via Transfermarkt.co.uk).
This fixture may not be extra-special in the eyes of the home supporters but they will need to be wary of Campbell who clearly believes there’s an added incentive for his team to win on Saturday afternoon.
