  • He said it will "be difficult" to face Manchester United without Ethan Ampadu - who will miss Sunday's game through suspension - but it is about finding another "solution" like they have all season.

  • On being seven points clear of the relegation zone: "It's a really good sign. What has been encouraging is the performances and the competitive nature in the games. It is good but we have to stay awake."

  • Farke went on to say they "are confident and happy" with recent results, "but there is no time for complacency or not staying humble".

  • He said Sunday's game is "another fixture against a big name" and playing Manchester United "is special" because of the rivalry between the two clubs.

  • More on facing United: "There is less time to recover, but it is a home game and at Elland Road we have a chance to fulfil the dreams of our supporters."

  • On the January transfer window: "Nothing to speak of yet. Nothing will happen before the FA Cup weekend. I don't expect anything major. This group has achieved a lot."
