Daniel Farke is challenging his players to find the right “excitement level” away from home.

Leeds needed an 93rd-minute equaliser to salvage a draw at Preston North End, which saw them slip three points behind leaders Sheffield United.

They have won eight straight home games as the foundation of their promotion push, but it is now just one win from their past seven matches on the road.

And they have failed to score in three of their past five away matches.

“We need to find a better excitement level for this kind of game,” said boss Farke.

“Obviously Elland Road is rocking and buzzing from the start, the players are in a more excitement mode. We need to make this happen in away games, when maybe the pitch isn’t perfect and not each and every decision goes our way.

“It is important we learn as we’re not good enough to cruise easily through this league.”
