Leeds United have enjoyed a promising first half of the Championship season as Daniel Farke looks to secure an immediate return to the Premier League. Despite Friday's defeat against West Bromwich Albion, the Whites will head into the new year sat firmly in the play-off mix with winnable games against the likes of Birmingham City, Cardiff City and Preston North End all on the agenda over the coming weeks.
