Steve Morison reveals his allegiance ahead of Leeds United's trip to Millwall

Former Leeds United striker Steve Morison has hailed the Whites' determination and hard work under head coach Marcelo Bielsa ahead of their meeting with another of Morison's former clubs, Millwall, this weekend

Leeds will resume their fierce rivalry with the Londoners at The Den on Saturday afternoon looking to build on their midweek triumph over West Brom.

And ahead of the Whites' trip to face the manager-less Lions, who saw long-term boss Neil Harris depart the club on Thursday, Morison, who was a strike partner of Harris' during their playing days at Millwall, has heaped praise on Leeds' fitness levels, their desire and hard work.

Morison, who played for the Elland Road club between January 2013 and August 2015, told Sky Sports: "They are just so fit. They are relentless, they don't stop.

"They get in all different types of lines all over the pitch. Sometimes they'll have five up front, but they are all there for a reason.

'Let's just hope Bielsa's two-year curse doesn't happen this year'

"They work so hard. They sometimes leave 2 v 2 at the back because they back themselves to get out of trouble. They don't stop.

"They just keep going and going and going. Let's just hope Bielsa's two-year curse doesn't happen this year and he manages to get them up."
