Leeds United fullback Luke Ayling admits he's a fan of Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce.

Ayling believes the Bruce has successfully managed to change United's approach, and expects a 'tricky' encounter on Wednesday night.

However, he has backed his team-mates to right the wrongs from their recent defeat to West Ham, and return to winning ways.

Ayling told the club's website: "Steve Bruce has done brilliantly there, he's got a team playing how he wants to play.

“We know it will be a very tricky game, very similar to the game we played against West Ham.

“I think it will be the same kind of way that they played, so we know we've got to do better, try and put our game out there and try to get the three points."
