DELIGHTED he may have been with the three points, but Daniel Farke wants Leeds United to “bury” games in order to avoid too many setbacks in the Championship this season.

Portsmouth failed to pull themselves out of the relegation zone after a crushing 2-1 defeat at Burnley on Saturday. John Mousinho’s side blew a first-half lead gained through Callum Lang as goals from Jeremy Sarmiento and Josh Brownhill - the latter coming four minutes into added-time - consigned Pompey to a third straight defeat.

Cardiff were poor and look every bit relegation contenders, while Leeds struggled to convert their superiority for most of the match, but Farke is unconcerned and once again came out with a strong case for the defence for his side.

Jamilu Collins is in line to make an appearance for Cardiff City in Saturday’s (today) Sky Bet Championship clash with Leeds United. Collins suffered an injury during pre-season and has been sidelined since then.

The Championship table would suggest today's clash between Leeds United and Cardiff City has got all the makings of a complete mismatch. The Whites have arguably one of the strongest squads in the division and are among the favourites for promotion.

It is tin-hat time at Leeds United just as it is at Cardiff City right now, and whilst manager Daniel Farke is well used to it, others may not be.

Leeds are heading to a Cardiff side sat bottom of the Championship table with just one point from their first five games.
