Speaking to the media ahead of Tuesday’s Sky Bet Championship clash at home to Watford, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts on our upcoming opponents.

The Whites comfortably dispatched of Sheffield United on Friday evening in a Yorkshire derby, whereas the Hornets were well-beaten in their own derby, losing away at Luton Town.

Despite contrasting weekend results, Farke knows that his side will face a tough test under the lights of Elland Road.

"It’s a side who was used to playing in the Premier League,” the boss stated.

“If we're honest, they have played in the last 20 years more on the Premier League level than we have as a club. So for that, we always have to respect this and to be respectful.

“I think they have a really good blend out of some young talents, but especially also out of experienced players.

“Players like Angelo Ogbonna and Moussa Sissoko, they've played on the highest level, they know exactly what is necessary in order to win games.

“It's a pretty physical side, especially in the centre of the park, but they also have some creativity and goal threats up front.

“I think especially at home, they have proven that they can beat each and every team in this league.

“Also in the second part of last season, they have won many, many points. Right now they are just two points out of the play-off positions and were in the top six on the game day before.

“I think they are also desperate to return back into the top six. So it's definitely one of the main contenders for the top positions in this league and for that yes we have to be on it again.”
