Callum Wilson believes the Elland Road atmosphere is 'one of the best' he has played in this season. The Newcastle United striker got to experience that firsthand last time out as he bagged a brace from the penalty spot in a 2-2 draw.
That should give Leeds United plenty of encouragement going into their final home game against Tottenham Hotspur. Sam Allardyce's men have two games remaining to save their season and the fight against relegation could well go down to the final day.
With that in mind, the Elland Road crowd will be needed once again to create an atmosphere that can drive their team towards safety.

Wilson got a taste of what was to come in that game when Luke Ayling opened the scoring on seven minutes.
The Newcastle striker said it felt like the 'roof lifted off'. He was speaking on the latest episode of The Footballer’s Football Podcast with West Ham striker Michail Antonio.
The pair were looking ahead to this weekend's game when Wilson made the admission.
"Are you guys playing at home or away?" Wilson asked Antonio. "Because their stadium and atmosphere is one of the best I have played this season.
“For a team that’s down there in the relegation zone, you don’t expect atmospheres to be like that.
"It was loud before the game and they scored and the roof lifted off."
