Owls boss Xisco Munoz knows his side face a tough task against Daniel Farke’s side at Elland Road

Sheffield Wednesday boss Xisco Munoz has warned his side cannot afford any slip-ups when they take on Leeds

 

 

United at Elland Road today. The Owls make the short journey across Yorkshire with no points to show from their

four Championship games to date.

They come up against a Leeds side boosted by a 4-3 win over Ipswich Town last time out and some new signings

 

 

which have rallied Daniel Farke’s outfit after a difficult start to the season. Joel Piroe scored on his debut at Portman

Road, while Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra were recalled to the side after missing much of the early part of the season.

 

 

It means few give the Owls much of a chance of springing a surprise today, but Munoz is well aware that Yorkshire

pride is at stake. And he will make sure his side is fully focused on the challenges Leeds present – as well as the

Elland Road atmosphere.

 

 

We can’t have one moment where we relax in the game,” he said. “We need to be at 200% and my job is to try and

give the players confidence.

“We need to show big attention for 95 minutes, work hard and put in a good performance. There will be moments in

the game where we won’t have the ball but we have to find the balance between attack and defense. It’s an important

game for us. I know it’s important for our fans.”

Munoz knows individual mistakes have cost his side dearly in recent weeks, but feels better results could be just around the corner.

We are disappointed with our results, we made an individual mistake at the last minute and we lost

the points,” he added. “We need to work very hard for success. Everyone wants to be better.
