Richard Sutcliffe NATHAN BLAKE believes Leeds United could be the surprise package of the New Year and mount a serious challenge for the Championship play-offs.

The Welsh international striker yesterday joined United on an initial month-long loan deal from Leicester City and will go straight into the team to face Crewe Alexandra at Elland Roa.

Blake will replace Brian Deane, who is out for up to six weeks with a shoulder injury, and believes he will be able to slot straight into Kevin Blackwell's preferred 4-3-3 formation.

The 32-year-old said: "We ran through a few things in training yesterday with regards the way Leeds play and the set-pieces.

"I played in a similar formation for Bolton, usually in away games, and do not envisage any problems.

"I knew a few of the lads such as Paul Butler from my time at Wolves and Sean Gregan, who was at West Brom. I do not know some of the younger lads too well but it is clear there is bags of potential at Leeds.
