Simon Grayson said on the Leeds United official website "It's an important part of our pre-season plans. We have two games confirmed now against Premier League opposition, and it's always a good test for the players to come up against teams from that level.
"It's also good to get a feel of Elland Road before the season starts, and hopefully there will be a decent crowd for the game. Pre-season is an important time because you lay the foundations for what you need and what you expect over the coming nine months or so."
