Former Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer has joked about scoring so many goals against Leeds United that it's considered 'his happy hunting ground'.
The Whites make their return to Premier League football tonight after a long winter break due to the World Cup in Qatar, and face Manchester City in what will be an incredibly tough test for Jesse Marsch's men.
But with the outrageous goalscoring form on Erling Haaland firm in the minds of pundits, Leeds staff and fans alike, Shearer is obviously aware of the historic start the Norwegian has made to life in England's top-flight.

Speaking on Amazon Prime Video's coverage of the match, Shearer joked though that Haaland hasn't yet got a goal at Elland Road - a place that he used to love playing at so much.
"I was as devastated as the Leeds fans when they got relegated - it cost me four goals a season! I loved this place, for some reason, I don’t know why, it just happened here so it was one of my happy hunting grounds."
