Blackburn Rovers ace Lewis Travers makes honest Leeds United admission
Blackburn Rovers midfielder Lewis Travis has labelled Leeds United as “one of the best teams” in the Championship this season ahead of their clash on 30 November.
Providing Leeds can beat Luton on Wednesday (27 November) night, they will enter the clash at Ewood Park at the top of the Championship.
The Whites have had an excellent campaign so far and it hasn’t gone unnoticed by Travis, who was previewing a Blackburn double-header against Middlesbrough and Leeds.
Speaking on Blackburn’s club site (27 November) Travis said: “I think Middlesbrough are the team with the best form in the league at the moment. We’ll go and attack that game. We’ve had a break and we want to get that out of our system.
“Leeds are probably one of the best teams in the league and I think it’s good to test ourselves against those sort of sides.
“We won’t play with fear, we’ll attack both games and see where we’re at.
Rival praise is a testament to the work done by Leeds United
Travis isn’t the first and certainly won’t be the last player to praise Leeds this season and it is a showcase as to how good the Whites have been.
Many have earmarked Daniel Farke’s side as the favourites to finish at the summit of the league and as long as performances continue, it is hard to argue against it.
Sunderland, Burnley and Sheffield United have all enjoyed good seasons to date but none of them look capable of matching the quality set by Leeds.
The Whites have a boatload of ability in their squad which will likely only get bigger when the January transfer window opens.
Leeds have impressed on a weekly basis although their away form is a slight (at most) concern, having won only three times on the road.
The positive from that is that they’ve only lost away from home once and their resolute performances will be key to maintaining that.
