Farke outlines Leeds expectations of Newcastle and salutes Eddie Howe

According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, Daniel Farke expects Newcastle to pose a very dangerous counter-attacking threat at Elland Road on Monday, while praising Eddie Howe's legacy at the club.

Leeds return to home turf and Premier League action after a bruising 6-3 Carabao Cup defeat at Chelsea on Wednesday. They remain unbeaten in the league, having beaten Nottingham Forest then drawn with Brentford and at Brighton.

Newcastle are moving on from a defining era under Howe, with Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon among the departures. New head coach Matthias Jaissle has started promisingly, taking five points from nine. Farke noted it is never easy to follow such a reign and said early signs suggest Jaissle has quickly built a strong bond, with key players in good spirits.

A former Red Bull Salzburg boss, Jaissle comes from a similar coaching school to ex-Leeds manager Jesse Marsch. Newcastle's games have been fast-paced and frenetic, two finishing 2-2 plus a 3-2 Carabao Cup win over West Brom.

Newcastle also boast blistering pace up front, with Anthony Elanga among the Premier League’s quickest and £51million signing Matias Fernandez-Pardo arguably even faster. Farke warned Leeds must stay switched on, especially in possession. He called the test difficult, said there are a few days to prepare, and that they will try to take as many points as possible.
