The Whites boss does not want to put too much pressure on his side
Daniel Farke insists it's 'unfair' to label his young Leeds United side as favourites to win promotion after another summer of upheaval at Elland Road.
"After so many changes and all the players we have had go and come in, we have an exciting group," he explained. "But when you have such a young group together, it would be unfair to put the burden of being the big favourite on their shoulders. Leeds' credentials will be tested on Friday night when they travel to Wearside to face league leaders Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. The Black Cats have surprised many under Regis Le Bris, and Farke has been impressed with what they've achieved so far.
Leeds are unlikely to see any of their injured players return for the Stadium of Light clash, with Ilia Gruev added to their absentee list after picking up a knee injury at Norwich.
