Ahead of facing Sunderland at Elland Road on Monday evening, Daniel Farke has previewed the game with the media.

The Whites face the Black Cats under the lights in West Yorkshire in a match between two promotion chasing teams in the Sky Bet Championship.

Beginning with team news, the boss said: “There are many games to play and for that, of course, you want to have the players available and also in the best possible shape.

“When everyone is ready to go and fit, then it's more or less the best situation you can have as a manager.

"So apart from Max [Wober] and Patrick [Bamford], we've got a pretty good situation.”

Onto his Leeds United side facing Sunderland in the match itself, the manager is expecting another hard-fought game.

“Well in general it's a brave side and they've scored many goals,” Farke stated.

“They can score more or less out of all positions. It's always important that many players chip in with goals and also sometimes to open opponents with a goal from a defender at a set-piece, for example, it's also important.

“Nevertheless, it's also important to control their offensive players, especially their counter-attacks, they're pretty good.

“On the counter-attacks to control their key players, but to be switched on in order to avoid assists or goals from their defensive roles will also play a crucial part.

“So I spoke earlier about a pretty complex task for us, we have to be good in many different areas, but we want to bring our strength on the pitch and then hopefully also to be as successful as possible in this game.”
