Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has had the two-week international break to strategise over his approach for the Championship season and will lead his side into battle against Millwall this weekend.

The Whites have only lost one of their opening five league fixtures this season but just one win is not the start that supporters will have wanted after dropping down from the Premier League.

An away visit to The Den is never an easy match but a win would slingshot Leeds United above Millwall in the league and potentially back into the top half of the table. It's set to be a high-tension meeting between the two sides and supporters have been warned by clubs against abusive chanting from the stands.

In a video shared online, players come together to say: "While we as players, staff and fans want to play in and see passionate atmospheres, we can’t allow this to boil over to the point where people’s matchday experiences are affected in a negative way. Anti-discriminatory and tragedy chants, as well as anti-social behaviour are not tolerated at The Den or anywhere else in football.

"Not only will you face severe consequences if found guilty of such crimes, your club will also suffer heavy financial consequences. It doesn’t matter if it’s one person or a group that’s been found guilty, your club will be punished.

"Both clubs have suffered tragic losses to their respective families in recent history. Chanting about either is entirely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by either club or the governing bodies. Don’t put yourself or your club at risk, let’s make this matchday experience an enjoyable one for all. Have a safe journey to The Den and we will see you soon. Love football, protect the game."
