United were due to head down the M60 after their dinnertime clash with Burnley and Kevin Blackwell is looking forward to the evening. "It's great how it's worked out with the kick-off time," he said.
"I'm hoping we can go there on a high and cheer them on to win. They've had another great season and it would be fantastic to see them cap off it tonight."
As part of the relationship between the two clubs, Sky TV sent a camera crew to film a handful of Leeds players wishing their Rhinos counterparts good luck.
The footage, if shown ahead of the big game tonight, will see keeper Ian Bennett attempting to lead his team-mates into a chorus of 'Rhinos, Rhinos'.
