Luton boss Kevin Blackwell has backed his former club Leeds to recover from their current predicament.

Blackwell was sacked as Elland Road chief last September, but it was not enough to turn around Leeds' fortunes, and they are almost certain to be relegated to League One on Sunday.

Blackwell told Luton Today: "With the size of the club and the fans they have, I think Leeds will be okay.

"I've texted and spoken to a lot of people in Leeds in the past few weeks. It was my privilege to work at the club and I will never forget it."
