Before tomorrow’s match at The Den, Farke expressed confidence in his team.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Leeds United manager Daniel Farke believes his team can secure points anywhere in the Championship at their best, giving Millwall a warning ahead of their clash.
- Despite a disappointing start to the season, Leeds should be a stronger team after the international break, with new signings adding depth and quality to the squad.
- It is difficult to predict the outcome of the game against Millwall, but Leeds have the potential to secure three points if they perform at their best, although a draw seems like a likely outcome given the need for the team to gel.
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has claimed that when his team is at its best, they can go anywhere in the Championship and pick up points, issuing a warning to Millwall ahead of tomorrow’s match.
The Whites have had a mixed start to the season, winning just one of their five league games, drawing three, and losing one.
Although they have only lost one league game, the Whites will be disappointed that they did not score more points when they had a decent chance.
Cardiff City, West Bromwich Albion, and Sheffield Wednesday were all viewed as beatable opponents at home, but they couldn’t take advantage and win against any of the three.
They beat high-flying Ipswich Town, but they can’t be happy with their season so far, especially after being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by League Two club Salford City.
To be fair to the Whites, their summer was disrupted by the takeover situation, but they should be a much better version of themselves following the international break, despite losing quite a few key players during the previous window/season.

What did Daniel Farke say before the Millwall match?
Despite their bad start, Farke’s team is still in a great position due to their excellent squad.
This is one of the reasons why the ex-Norwich City manager is confident in his team’s ability to compete on the road while still respecting the Lions.
“I’m really respectful because his (Gary Rowett) side always plays with a lot of spirit, a lot of aggressiveness, a lot of team spirit, and they go for it,” he told Leeds Live.
“They’re always well-structured, pretty good defenders, so that some momentum in the last games, four points in the last two games, we’re very respectful.”
“But we also know that when we are at our best, it’s a tough place to go, but when we are at our best, we have a chance to win points wherever we go.” “But we also know that when we are at our best, it’s a tough place to go, but when we are at our best, we have a chance to win points wherever we go.”
“If we can bring it on the field, we have a good chance of winning points.”
Will Leeds United triumph over Millwall tomorrow?
This is a difficult game to call because the Lions have managed to get back on track following their humiliating setback at the hands of Norwich City.
However, they have been beaten at The Den twice this season, which should give Leeds ample confidence to put together a decent effort in the English capital.
It should also be noted that they will have some of their new acquisitions available to them.
Although it may take some time for them to gel with the rest of the Leeds squad, their presence alone should help the Whites.
And it wouldn’t be surprising if they came away with three points. However, Leeds still need time to develop, so a draw appears to be the most likely conclusion.
In football, however, anything can happen.
