Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has told The Yorkshire Evening Post that Sheffield Wednesday are a top team.

The Whites will take on Wednesday away from home at the Hillsborough Stadium in the Championship on Saturday afternoon.

Christiansen, who was appointed in his role as the Leeds head coach in the summer following the departure of Garry Monk, has spoken highly of the Owls, stating that they are a “top team”.

“They have an important budget and they showed last season that they are a top team,” Christiansen told The Yorkshire Evening Post about Wednesday.

“They play at home and they have to show that these last two games were two mistakes.”

Wednesday have finished in the top six of the Championship for the past two seasons, and should be able to clinch a playoff spot yet again this campaign.

Although the Owls have not been great so far this season, they have a very strong squad and some wonderful players.

Leeds, too, are aiming to finish in the top six of the Championship this season, and they are going to make it tough for the Owls at the Hillsborough Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

A draw for the Whites would not be a bad result for Leeds, who are the visiting team and lost in the Championship last weekend.
