Leeds United will head into the Championship game against Swansea City this weekend as heavy favourites.

Daniel Farke’s side are third in the Championship table. Leeds are only two points behind Sunderland and Sheffield United, who are first and second respectively.

Leeds have won four of their last six Championship games and have scored 24 goals in 15 league matches.

The Whites have conceded just nine goals in the league all season. David Prutton has backed Leeds to win automatic promotion to the Premier League.

In contrast, Swansea have lost three of their last six Championship games. The Swans are down in 11th.

Luke Williams’s side are defensively mean. They have conceded just 10 goals in 15 league games. However, the Swans have scored only 11 goals in the Championship all season.

All signs point to a comfortable win for Leeds against Swansea at the Swansea.com Stadium, but Farke has warned his players against complacency.

The Leeds head coach has noted why it is going to be difficult for his team to pick up all three points in Wales.

Daniel Farke wary of Liam Cullen ahead of Swansea vs Leeds

Farke has also warned his Leeds players about the threat posed by Swansea forward Liam Cullen.

Cullen has scored two goals in eight Championship starts and found the back of the net once in 40 minutes of Carabao Cup action this season.

The 25-year-old forward scored twice for Wales against Iceland at the Cardiff City Stadium in UEFA Nations League – League B – Group 4 on Tuesday.

Farke said: “It’s not easy to score goals against them (Swansea). I have to say they’re well-structured, I like a lot what they do in build-up and midfield play.

“Cullen will play with confidence after scoring a brace for Wales. We are respectful, we have to be on it.”

The Leeds boss added: “We want to dominate this game and possession. We have to be more efficient than we have been before. We want to give ourselves the chance to create chances.”

How the international break will help Leeds United

In his press conference on Friday, Farke also spoke about how the international break is going to make Leeds better.

The Leeds boss was pleased to see some of his players get a bit of rest from the tough Championship schedule. Farke said that he worked individually with some members of his squad as well.

Farke said when asked about his target during the international break: “Recovery! The table will be made over this next period. No breaks until March. 

“Had to calm the load down. Three good training days. Concentrated on individual work with players who stayed here. Players in rehab could work with them on exercises when you don’t have 20 players around.”
