Baraclough expects Leeds to be fully focused
Scunthorpe boss Ian Baraclough refuses to accept that Leeds could be distracted by their looming FA Cup clash with Arsenal ahead of Saturday's npower Championship encounter at Elland Road.
The Yorkshire giants face the Gunners in a third-round replay next Wednesday after claiming a 1-1 draw in the capital last weekend.
Promotion remains the priority for Simon Grayson's side but their league form suffered badly last season as they faced high-profile FA Cup ties against Manchester United and Tottenham.
Yet Baraclough said: "Their team is at the top end of the Championship and Simon Grayson has got them fully focused. I think they will put the FA Cup to one side and just concentrate on the next game.
"They know the league is important because they have a chance of getting themselves in the Premier League. I don't expect them to take it easy.
"It would be nice if they had one eye on the Arsenal game but I don't think it will be like that at all. We've got to put in the effort to give us a chance and a foothold in the game."
