Leeds United could move into the Championship play off places if they beat Bristol City later this evening.

Garry Monk has told the Yorkshire Evening Post that he is worried that his Leeds United side could get complacent, ahead of their match against Bristol City this evening.

Leeds are on a wonderful run of form – having won their last four matches in succession.

There is optimism building at Elland Road, but Monk wants to ensure that his players’ levels of focus do not dip.

“It’s been a long time since the club had this type of run,” Monk said. “Keeping it going is the challenge. You need to change your mentality and understand what it takes to keep a run going and we work very hard on that.

“There’s always the worry that if you lose concentration you could suffer a negative result but our attitude and our focus has been excellent. We understand there’ll come a point where we suffer a disappointment but we’re going to fight for the positives and keep this going.”

It is six years since Leeds last four matches in a row, but their task of beating Bristol City will be a tough one this evening.

Lee Johnson’s side have been one of the Championship’s most dangerous attacking teams, and they have been in fine form so far this campaign.

In Tammy Abraham, the Robins have one of the second tier’s most in-form front men, and he is supplemented well by the likes of Lee Tomlin and Luke Freeman.

Johnson’s men currently sit in 10th place in the Championship table, while Leeds are in 12th position. A win for either side this evening could take them into the play off spots.
