Leeds United have been off to a fantastic start this season and could be set for a big campaign. They have played so well that they seem to be the reference point for other well-performing teams now.
Last year, Farke’s side managed just two wins in their first eight games.
This season, they already have nine points from a possible 15 to start the season. And they have gotten these results against difficult opponents; Newcastle, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Brentford.
The club sit in fifth place just outside the top four, level on points with Liverpool.
This will set them up nicely when the team makes their return from the long international break.

Speaking of the international break, some teams have given their players who did not depart for international duty a week of rest.
This includes Spurs, and former midfielder Jamie O’Hara has been furious at the decision speaking on talkSPORT. He believes the club should not be doing that considering how poor they have been this season.
And in his submission, he ended up praising Leeds which would raise some eyebrows.
”Roberto De Zerbi has given the players that are not on international duty a week off apparently
”I don’t agree with that, we are not in a normal situation.
”If it was at any other clubs that have been doing well like Leeds, Everton whatever, give them the week off fine because they have started well
”Spurs need to be at the stadium. I would get the team at the stadium every single day until you make it feel like your home.
”I would move training to the stadium every single day until the players understand that it is the norm to be there and play at that stadium.”

Leeds have put everyone on notice this season
This is a far cry from the start to the season last year; now clubs know how good Leeds United are and will not like to meet them.
Daniel Farke’s men have already made life difficult for Brentford and Brighton in back-to-back weeks. Both teams were flying high and playing some of their best football.
Keith Andrews’ side were free scoring but were held to one goal when they met Leeds.
Brighton needed a late goal to salvage a point against Daniel Farke’s side away from home, but they demolished Premier League holders Arsenal weeks later.
If the Whites can continue to play at this level, then they have a chance to sneak into European places at the end of the season.
