Grant McCann has played down expectations on his side ahead of Tuesday night's clash with Leeds United.

The Whites are in excellent form in 2nd spot in Championship - eight points clear of Fulham in the play-off spots.

Hull City have made a mixed start to the campaign, meaning that a trip to Elland Road is likely to be among the toughest fixtures of the entire season.

Marcelo Bielsa's side are undoubtedly favourites for the clash, but McCann has said that he's hoping his team could pull off a shock.

Quoted by the Yorkshire Post, McCann said: “I saw the game when Jarrod got two and watched it during the week. It is not impossible to get a result. “We will go there with belief that we can; not sitting back. We will go there to try and win the game as it is the only way we know how to play. “I do not think it will be any sort of marker. It is just a game where we can just go and see if we can upset the odds. They have won six in a row and have real confidence at the minute. “I am sure no-one will give us any hope going there and winning. But we will go there and play with a smile on our face and with freedom and enjoyment and see if we can cause an upset.” McCann added: “They can have three or four injuries and still adapt to a centre-half playing in midfield and still look as comfortable. Think you know Leeds? Take our quiz to test yourself!   “I think the difference in Leeds this season is that (Marcelo) Bielsa has been there for a season now. They understand exactly how he wants to work. “We are quite young still and 20 games in and he has that full year and disappointment of not going up last time and now you sense that group have the bit between their teeth and want to turn it around this time. “It is also the energy they play at and way they adapt to games. I think it is everything really, as well as having very good players for every position.” The verdict Leeds United's clash with Hull City has the potential to be a very entertaining game. Marcelo Bielsa's side are undoubtedly favourites, but if the Tigers can put in a performance that we know they're capable of then they could pull off a shock.
