Leeds United return to Elland Road on Saturday for another exciting clash in the Premier League, welcoming Thomas Frank’s Tottenham Hotspur to West Yorkshire.
Currently on eight points from the opening six league encounters, Daniel Farke’s side have enjoyed life on their return to the top-flight.
Following on from the draw with AFC Bournemouth last weekend, attentions now turn to the meeting with Spurs, something the Whites boss believes will be a good test after a positive opening run of fixtures.
“What I like about our start so far in terms of performances, we have not one point [that was] lucky but we have also, I would say, lost three points [from being] very, very unlucky.
“So it could be easily even on 10 or 11 points if I am honest and then we would not just be talk of the town. But sometimes it is also a bit healthy for this emotional club to fly a bit under the radar.
“It is good that we had such a positive start performance-wise, also result-wise, but it is a long road and we have to make sure that we deliver with consistency further on.
“We need to win many more points in order to achieve our target because with just eight points, we won’t be allowed to stay in this league, so we have to keep going.”
Speaking on his opposite number, Farke is impressed with Frank’s start to his tenure in the Spurs hotseat.
“His teams are always well-structured, well-managed and coached and for that you have to be spot on in what you are doing. They play and press with intensity. They always threaten with many runs in behind.
“When they rotate, they still have found a way in the last games to dig in and to grind out a result and this is also the mentality Thomas bring into his teams.
“Always they are pretty effective and find pragmatic solutions to grind out results and for that we have to be aware if you are against his side on top of the game, they can comeback and deliver.”
