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."
