New Leeds United boss Sam Allardyce admits he'll be nervous ahead of tomorrow's clash with Manchester City.
Allardyce hopes for a smooth preparation going into the game.
He said, "I will be nervous, hoping that nothing pops up. Hoping the physio doesn't ring and say such-a-body overnight has got a temperature, or whatever.
"You want to try to avoid anything like that because you have done your plans and picked your team and put into their mind what we need to do and then you have got to disrupt that by somebody having to drop out of the starting XI.
"The nerves carry on until the kick-off, but once the kick-off happens then the nerves disappear for me because I am totally focused on what is happening on the pitch then.
"After the game, who knows? I would like to be able to smile."
