Leeds United will be looking to bounce back from a tough week with a win on Saturday.
Leeds United manager Garry Monk
Whites boss Garry Monk spoke to reporters during his pre-match press conference, ahead of his side’s clash with Preston North-End on Saturday, and praised his players for the manner in which they have ‘put Leeds back on the map’ this season, as quoted by the club’s official Twitter account.
The West Yorkshire outfit head into this weekend’s game on the back of consecutive defeats in the Championship, but still sit comfortably inside the play-off spots, with a six point advantage over seventh placed Fulham.
Many predicted Leeds to struggle at the start of the season, but they have far exceeded expectations, and Monk deserves the utmost credit for the manner in which he has gone about his business during his time at Elland Road.
And the Whites boss lavished praise upon his current group of players, when speaking to reporters, as quoted by Leeds’ official Twitter account:

“You can never doubt our group, they have put Leeds back on the map this season and given everyone a team to be proud of.”
With just six games remaining in their campaign, four wins will all but secure their place inside the top six.
And all three points at home against Simon Grayson’s men on Saturday would create the ideal platform for them to subsequently kick on, and cement their position in the play-off spots.
