Looking ahead to Saturday night’s meeting with Brentford, Daniel Farke expects Leeds United to face another challenge in their bid for Premier League survival.

The Whites go into the encounter with the Bees having shown great defensive resilience last time out to keep a clean sheet with 10 men on the road at Crystal Palace.

Now, with attentions firmly focussed on their next fixture, the manager told the media at Thorp Arch that there is plenty more his side need to achieve before the end of the campaign.

“From the first day of the season, we were confident and believing in ourselves after, I would say, many brilliant performances and also good results,” the boss began.

“Perhaps right now even more than in the beginning of the season. Once you are newly promoted, you don’t know exactly what will happen in this league.

“And everyone is aware of the different animal that the Premier League can be. But I think we can take lots of confidence also out of our last performances, also the last results, anyhow.

“But there is still work to do. And if we don’t manage to win six to eight points out of the last eight games, then we all probably also don’t deserve to stay in this league.

“But I am pretty sure that we will prove that we deserve to stay in this league. We are in the quarter-final of the FA Cup. We are already on 32 points.

“So we are on a good path but nothing is achieved yet. We have to keep going.”
