The Whites' home form, especially under the lights, has been key to their survival bid but after welcoming the Bees they will have just three home games remaining. "I don't think Daniel Farke is underestimating Brentford," he told the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
"I think people have got over their surprise at them doing so well having had the guts of the team and the manager ripped out of them. "They are seventh. They let a 2-0 lead slip against Wolves but have had a few injury problems but are an impressive team.
"It is at Elland Road, we play before everybody else, it'll be a big night there and it will feel like a real occasion. "I think that's a lot for any team to contend with and that's why I feel Leeds can do this. "If they pick up two points from the Palace game and this one I don't feel think it's a disaster at all.
