Returning to action after the recent international break, Leeds United face Burnley at Elland Road in a Sky Bet Championship clash.

The lunchtime kick-off in West Yorkshire will see two teams with ambitions of battling at the top end of the table coming up against one another, in a big test for each side.

Speaking ahead of the match, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts on the game to the media.

He said: “Burnley are without any doubt is one of the best sides in this league.

“Many mature players also on this level, a very experienced coach, and they will be also one of the big contenders for winning the title.

“They will be there in the top six positions, automatic promotion positions, or at least the play-offs, and it's a really good side in this new season.

“They had a little setback perhaps in the last games, but overall we know it's a tough task, and they have lots of individual quality within the team.

“Also many experienced players in their central position, we know a few of them, so for that, yes, we have to be at our best.”

After a number of players were away with their countries and have now returned to Thorp Arch, the manager gave an update on the fitness of his side.

“International break is what it is, but for us, perhaps it’s even a bit more difficult than perhaps for other clubs in this division,” Farke explained.

“So for us it was more or less 13 players who were away that has affected our group.

“There will also be some late decisions because there were some small injuries, nothing too bad.

“There's a big question mark behind Max Wober because he returned back with some knee problems.

“Also some bad news with Daniel James because he had a re-injury during his rehab training, and the re-injury is even worse than the injury before.

“So a few knocks and niggles like always when players have some games, but apart from that everyone is back in training and hopefully should be available also for Saturday."
