A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds manager Paul Heckingbottom has said that both Pablo Hernandez and Kemar Roofe are touch and go for the Championship clash with Middlesbrough on Friday night.

The pre-match press conference was postponed but Heckingbottom was talking to the BBC's West Yorkshire Sport ahead of Friday night's clash.

He also revealed that Adam Forshaw had trained all week after missing last week's game for the birth of his daughter.

Meanwhile, striker Tyler Roberts remains sidelined as the club try to ascertain whether he will need surgery.

All this is assuming that the match goes ahead.

The weather conditions in the north of England are terrible, with more snow expected today and tomorrow.

Police released an update on Thursday morning saying that there would be a meeting between police, the club and the council before a decision was made.

However, Heckingbottom has said that his side have been training all week on an indoor pitch and are not expecting the game to be called off.
