Leeds boss keen that Arsenal clash does not prove a distraction

Leeds boss Simon Grayson wants promotion to the top flight to be priority and not let the FA Cup clash with Arsenal prove a distraction to that goal. He told the club's official website: "These are games you look forward to, but equally we have a lot of important league games ahead of us before then and it's those games that are our bread and butter.

"Our focus is on the Championship and the games we have coming up. There's no question of anyone being distracted and when the time is right we will look forward to the Arsenal game and think about it."

Grayson added: "We beat Man United last year, we performed superbly against Tottenham the same season and last season we were within minutes of winning at Arsenal.

"We took 9,000 fans with us last season and I'm sure they'll be looking forward to going back to the Emirates again."
