Ahead of facing Ipswich Town at Elland Road on Saturday lunchtime, Daniel Farke gave his thoughts to the media.

The Leeds United manager is looking forward to the game against the team directly above his side in the table.

“One thing is for sure, that two of the best sides in the league will meet each other and with a full, packed Elland Road,” Farke began.

“We’re all looking forward to this game, it’s a great game.

“It’s just another chance to win three points and I’m not playing the importance of the game down.

“It’s an important game because each and every game is a chance to win one or three points, but no more.

“In the home games, we’ve been quite successful so far, and we want to keep going with this one and for that we are highly motivated.

“They [Ipswich] played fantastic last season and they have top class players, a coach doing a fantastic job and they have a special, unique style of playing.

“When you’re newly promoted, to play with this special style and ‘unnormal’ processes, for each and every opponent in a new league it’s always difficult to adapt to it.

“Especially in the beginning, you can surprise a lot and cause problems. But when they get used to the approach, everything calms down.

“You have to say, lots of credit to Kieran McKenna and all the staff and players, they’ve done a fantastic job and they fully deserve to be in this position.”
