What Daniel Farke likes about Swansea City amid firm message to Leeds United squad

Daniel Farke admits he likes the way Swansea City play football and is expecting a tough game when the Whites take on Luke Williams' side on Sunday.

The Swans have struggled in front of goal this season which has meant they have not picked up the results performances have perhaps merited. However, the will pose a tough challenge for Leeds, who are looking to pick up where they left off before the international break.

Farke's side head to the Liberty Stadium with confidence high after a 2-0 win over Queens Park Rangers, but the German is no under no illusions over Swansea's strengths, especially their resolute defence. And he knows that in Liam Cullen they will have a man full of confidence after he scored twice and created the other two goals for Wales in their 4-1 win over Iceland last week.

"I am respectful," Farke said of Sunday's opponents. "Teams struggle to score against them. They concede one or keep a clean sheet. They have the second highest possession behind us, so it's not easy to get the ball and it's not easy to score against them. If they have the ball for 60 per cent of the time, it's hard to score.

"We want to dominate this game and dominate possession. We have to be more efficient than we have been before if we want to give ourselves the chance to create chances. I do not expect it to be ten one vs one chances for us.

"They come into many good positions in the build-up and midfield play. It's why they are in so much control. They dominated against the best sides too. Credit to their manager and I like what they do in the midfield play. They lack the cutting edge in the final third, but if we mention it too much they will score lots on Sunday.

"Liam Cullen will play with confidence after a brace so we have to be on it. I like the way they play football."

Leeds will be without the suspended Junior Firpo, while Isaac Schmidt has been added to an injury list that already contains Ethan Ampadu, Largie Ramazani and Ilia Gruev. However Max Wober and Brenden Aaronson will take their place in the squad after returning from international duty.
