Leeds will host Sunderland at Elland Road tonight and Farke said: "Once we went there they've nearly beaten each and every opponent in the home games, and we came away with the draw and it was, in the end, a good draw.

"I expect also a tight, difficult, complicated game in the Premier League but yeah on this level, Premier League level, each and every game is difficult. 

"They're doing a fantastic job during the season. They are in a really good position right now but it doesn't take anything away that we are highly motivated to show, again, a good performance and also to win as many points as possible.

"I think probably the fair outcome of this game would be perhaps a draw," Farke added on the defeat to Manchester City at the weekend. "We were throwing everything at them, but they were also defending really, really well. 

"I think it was a top performance from our players against a top side and we can take even more confidence out of this.

"But it's a new day, it's a new opponent and we're also very respectful. We know how difficult it is to beat a side like Sunderland, I expect also a tight game but nevertheless we have a home game and of course we want to win the points."
