Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce wants to start December with a bang when his side travel to Leeds on Friday.
After a slow opening to the season, the Villans have picked up the pace with eight wins from their last 11 games to climb to fourth in the Championship table.
A trip to Elland Road in the second tier is a reminder of how far both teams have fallen and Bruce knows this will be a crucial period in their hopes of a Premier League return.
