“After four wins on the bounce we’re now on a bad run, so if we can go out there and put on a performance against Leeds and get the win then it’s definitely another momentum starter and confidence boost for the lads.

“[Marcelo Bielsa] has come in and he’s done really well. I know a few of the lads who have played under him at Leeds and they said he was really good to work for. He’s implemented his style and we’ve got to match it, we’ve got be better than them, and I’m sure we can.

“I’ve seen quite a bit of them this season. Every player knows what they’re doing and their roles, the manager’s been in place for a while and, like I said, has implemented his style.

“Clearly they’re all buying into it and it’s working for them as they’re up in the top-two, and I’m sure they’re going to be in and around it come the end of the season.”

Christie continued: “I think they were unlucky last year, they kind of faded off a bit which didn’t help them but they’ve come back strong. We know what we’re going to face, we’re in for a tough game.

“They’re full of confidence while we’re probably low on the confidence side on the back of these results, but this is where we’ve got to stand up and be counted, and show true character to get through the game. If we play how we know we can, there’s no reason we can’t get the win.”
