What has Daniel Farke said?

Leeds boss Farke said of Blackburn: "I like this side, I really rate them and the work of Jon Dahl a lot. Really good possession side, a bit unpredictable, brave and sometimes crazy in a positive way. It's difficult if you want to follow each and every movement.

"It's quite important you are rock solid against them and have a good structure against the ball. Many good players on an individual level, especially in the offense. If we do this, then we have our opportunities to shine and create chances and hurt them but if you're not spot on, this team can hurt every team on this level. We will travel not with fear but respectful, to give ourselves a chance to win the points."
