Karl Darlow: Everyone will be fully motivated | OneFootball

Leeds United are back in action at Elland Road on Friday evening as they aim for a strong start to February against Nottingham Forest, who the Whites currently sit just above in the table.

Ahead of the match, Leeds keeper Karl Darlow – who made his professional debut with the East Midlands side – spoke exclusively to Premier League Productions.

“Arsenal was a tough game,” the Welshman said. “Unfortunately, it went the wrong way for us, which is just one of those things. In the Premier League, you get punished for small errors and small mistakes.

“I think Arsenal are so well drilled in everything they do and it is obviously a squad that has been together for a long time and has added more quality. They are not winning by fluke.

“But you have to go game by game, brush that one off and on to the next one. We have got 14 big games coming up and we know we cannot afford to dwell on results.

“I think there is a very direct way about Forest and very threatening in terms of what they have. They have that quality in the midfield and they have the quality on the wings and up front that can hurt you. So, we need to be wary of that.

“Friday night at Elland Road – it is one to be excited about as a player and obviously the fans get excited. Everyone will be fully motivated to try and get a really positive result.”

Karl is also the cover star and main interview in this weekend’s matchday programme, discussing facing his former club.
