Grayson relishing Latics tie

Mon, 26 Oct 14:21:11 2009

Leeds manager Simon Grayson wanted a home draw, but his side will be going all out for a win at Oldham in the FA Cup.

United travel to Boundary Park over the weekend of November 7/8 for the first-round clash and Grayson knows all about their League One rivals.

He said: "Ideally you want a home draw. When you don't get that, you'd prefer to have someone you know something about rather than making a step into the unknown.

"We're already due to go there in December as they're in our league, so we'll be prepared and have a fair idea about what to expect. It'll be a game that both of us are looking to win."

Meanwhile, on-loan goalkeeper Frank Fielding, drafted in as cover for Casper Ankergren during Shane Higgs' injury absence, has returned to parent club Blackburn.

England Under-21 international Fielding was an unused substitute on three occasions for Leeds.
