Leeds United will face Ipswich Town at Elland Road in the Championship this weekend.

Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy has revealed what he has been told about Leeds United boss Thomas Christiansen, as quoted by TWTD.

Christiansen was appointed the Leeds head coach in the summer following the departure of Garry Monk, who is now in charge of Championship rivals Middlesbrough.

The Whites have made a strong start to the 2017-18 Championship campaign and are among the sides aiming for a top-two finish.

Leeds are at the top of the league table at the moment with 17 points from eight matches, level on points with second-placed Wolverhampton Wanderers and third-placed Cardiff City.

The West Yorkshire outfit will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Ipswich at Elland Road in the league.

The Tractor Boys have also made a good start to the season and are aiming to a playoff spot at least.

Ipswich are currently fifth in the standings with 15 points from seven matches and will head into this weekend’s game against Leeds with confidence.

Manager McCarthy has revealed what he has been told about Leeds head coach Christiansen.

“I was told they spent a lot of time working on their shape and doing what they do and I think as usual with players there were one or two who weren’t totally happy with it,” TWTD quotes McCarthy as saying about Christiansen.

“But he said, ‘Listen, this is how we’re doing it’. I’m happy with that, I like that – ‘This is the way I do it, this is how we’re going to do it, if you don’t like doing it, see you’. He’s got my respect already, if that’s what he did.

“I don’t know the chap, he doesn’t know me, but I’ll be looking for a bottle of beer after the game, of course. Whether he’s there to give me one or not, I don’t know. Somebody will be, I’m sure.”
