Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has opened up ahead of this weekend's clash with Leeds.
Newcastle are currently in third place on the Premier League table after 34 matches.
"We know it's going to be a great occasion, a great atmosphere. Elland Road is a brilliant place to play in, so we look forward to that, but we need to be ready for what's going to come,” said Howe.
"It's going to be an intense atmosphere, as I say, and it's going to be a really important start to the game. I think those first 15, 20 minutes will have a huge impact on what happens afterwards."
He also spoke about Sam Allardyce's first game in charge of Leeds at Manchester City and what he expects from the upcoming match.
"I think we saw enough to say that that's going to be what Sam's going to give the team - a clear organisation, a clear structure, a definite philosophy in and out of possession - so for us watching it back tactically you could see the impact he's had on the team in a very short period of time,” he said,
"They're going to be tough to play against, they're going to ask questions of our back four, and we need to find the answers to those. Set plays are going to be a big threat - they're going to be very potent in that area of the game - so again we're going to have to be good, as we have been for the majority of the season in that respect. It'll be, I think, a totally different test to the one it could have been a couple of weeks earlier."
Howe also talked about the loss against Arsenal last week.
"We've analysed the Arsenal game and there was a lot of good. It was very close to being a really good performance I felt - the ability to take our chances really was what was missing on the day, otherwise that could have been a similar performance to Manchester United at home and the other really good games we've had at home in recent weeks,” he said.
"It's about calmness, really, and not overreacting to a defeat but making sure the players are aware how different this game is going to be from other games we've had.
"This will have parallels to the Everton game in terms of Leeds will have a lot of similar strengths to the Everton game, the crowd will be similar. The key thing about that game is we got the first goal and we were very good at certain aspects of our defending in that match, so I think that's the game we have to look at and try and mirror that performance really."
