Leeds United are going strong in the Championship at the moment.

Leeds United attacker Kemar Roofe has admitted to The Yorkshire Post that he does not know where his team are in the Championship table.

Roofe, who can operate as a winger or as a striker, has also stated that he and his teammates are not feeling any pressure.

The Whites are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 72 points from 41 matches.

“None of us feel pressure because no-one expected this at the start of the season,” the 24-year-old told The Yorkshire Post.

“I guarantee that if you’d asked anyone at the start of the season ‘where do you expect us to finish?’ probably no-one would have said the play-offs or promotion but we’re doing that.

“To be honest, if you asked me, I don’t even know where we are in the league. It doesn’t bother us. We just take it game by game.”

Leeds are going strong in the Championship at the moment and should be able to finish in the top six.

Clinching one of the two automatic promotion places is not going to be possible, and Garry Monk’s side need to makes sure that they do not drop out of the playoffs.

It does seem quite strange that Roofe does not know the exact position that Leeds are in the league table.

Leeds will return to action on Friday evening when they take on promotion-chasing Newcastle United away from home at St. James’ Park in the Championship.

Rafael Benitez’s are second in the league table at the moment with 84 points from 41 matches, just two points behind leaders Brighton and Hove Albion.
