Every word Sam Allardyce said on Leeds United training, injuries, Meslier, Guardiola, Haaland, Keane

A couple of days in now, have the players responded, what are seeing on the training ground from them and have you managed to get enough work into them to give you the confidence that you can go to Manchester City and to get a win?

Well, I think that first in terms of response, couldn't be any more pleased about the fact that the players have aired their views, which is very important for me about how to go forward. We've come on together and put a plan together to start as quickly as possible with a couple of days we've had to only talk about Manchester City and the big task we do have in front of us. Then we've gone on to the training ground and into this room to analyse the best way we can to play on Saturday. Around that we've been listening to a lot of the staff that's already here, what the player can and cannot do and what is his best position and how best you play him in what system does he play the best? So we've done all that and formulated an idea.

We’ll tell them the starting XI this morning when they finally finish a bit of analysis when we've got rid of you lot because they'll come in here and we'll finish up so. We’ll be on the pitch to do the final bits and pieces and then they can get off and we can get to Manchester.
