Leeds United take on Southampton away from home this weekend, in their latest Sky Bet Championship fixture.

The Whites head into the game on a six-match unbeaten league run, which has included four clean sheets in a row.

Speaking ahead of the trip to St Mary’s on Saturday lunchtime, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts on the match.

He said: “First of all we know that we are in good shape and good moments of the season.

“We’re six games unbeaten, four clean sheets in a row, pretty impressive performances and obviously a really good result in the last game and many points in the last games, we are happy at the moment.

“But we know that in this league you always have to be aware that the momentum can change and switch pretty quickly, so for that we always have to be on it.

“Southampton will be highly motivated to do exactly this - to use this home game against an opponent with a big reputation like we are, in order to win the momentum.

“They had a really, really good start to the season, it’s a really good side and then it’s the Championship and sometimes you have periods when it’s tricky.

“But, I’m 100 per cent sure that their class will shine at one moment and they will be highly motivated to find their way back in terms of results, because I think performance wise they were not far away."
