Leeds United return from the international break to face Southampton on Saturday afternoon as they look to pick up three consecutive wins for the first time all season. The Whites' 3-2 comeback victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out has stretched the gap between themselves and the bottom three and the hope is that - with rivals having difficult fixtures - this weekend could be one where Leeds become almost too hard to catch for the bottom three.
One former Southampton manager, Lawrie McMenemy remembers when Leeds were competing at the other end of the top division though. McMenemy won the FA Cup managing the Saints but also spent time as a coach at Sheffield Wednesday during Don Revie 's years as Leeds manager and he spoke of his experiences coming up against that side and how every time Southampton face Leeds, it 'brings back memories' of the Revie years for him.
"Win, lose or draw, he always made a point in coming in at the end of the game to welcome you and have a chat," said McMenemy in his column for the Daily Echo.
