Leeds United are at the top of the Championship table at the moment.

Leeds United head coach Thomas Christiansen has suggested to The Yorkshire Evening Post that he is not thinking about automatic promotion at the moment.

The West Yorkshire outfit are at the top of the league table at the moment with 20 points from nine matches.

The Whites are level on points with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Cardiff City, who are second and third respectively in the standings.

Leeds started the 2017-18 Championship season aiming to clinch a playoff spot, but now it looks as though they could mount a challenge for automaton promotion.

Head coach Christiansen, who was appointed in his role in the summer following the departure of Garry Monk, is not getting carried away.

“I don’t look further than one or two games so I cannot imagine myself in that situation,” Christiansen told The Yorkshire Evening Post regarding automatic promotion.

“It would be nice, of course, and we all have our dreams. If it is possible or not, time well tell.”

Christiansen is absolutely right in keeping his feet on the ground, as it is still very early in the season.

Only nine rounds of matches have been played in the Championship this season, and the Elland Road faithful should not get carried away.

Leeds will face Cardiff City away from home at the Cardiff City Stadium in the Championship on Tuesday evening.
