Cardiff City boss impressed by Leeds under Thomas Christiansen.
The two teams are level on points at the top of the Championship table and face off tonight in an eagerly anticipated match.
Warnock believes the game will be played in the right way, paying tribute to the Whites as a good footballing side.
He said: “They look now as though they mean business and will take some moving this year.
“That’s why I am looking forward to the game, it should be a good challenge for us.
“They play the game the right way and it will be a cracking game, I think.”
Warnock clearly believes Leeds’ rise to the table is no fluke, and they will be in the promotion race all season long.
Cardiff aspire for the same, and the two teams are so far defying pre-season expectations by currently competing for the automatic promotion spots.
Warnock’s praise of Leeds is justified – they have scored more goals (17) than any other team in the division, three more than Cardiff.
Leeds have only conceded five goals in nine matches, only Preston North End (3) have a better record.
