Right-back Jordan Williams is confident Portsmouth will give a good account of themselves when they face Leeds United at Elland Road in their opening Championship fixture
A trip to Leeds United on the opening weekend of the 2024/25 Championship season is one that excites rather than worries Portsmouth summer recruit Jordan Williams. The League One champions will visit Elland Road on Saturday, August 10 looking to cause a major upset.
While United will be looking to go one better when the real stuff gets under way next month, it will be the first time Pompey have played in the second tier since 2012. Williams, a free transfer recruit from Barnsley, said: ‘It’s a brilliant first game and I’ve had a few messages from a few friends who are Leeds fans. They’re one of the biggest teams in the division and the crowd will be rolling for the first game. Hopefully the sun shines and we can put on a display for our fans.
"This is what we’re in football for. We want to play in the biggest stadiums in front of a lot of fans and best players we can. It’s going to be an intriguing game and intriguing season."
