GARRY Monk insists the approach of his Leeds team will be no different despite the fact they welcome Championship leaders Newcastle to Elland Road tomorrow.

A routine Premier League fixture until 12 years ago, the Magpies head to Yorkshire in fine form having won their last seven league outings.

Leeds themselves occupy a play-off spot going into the weekend, although that is likely to change before the Sunday lunchtime kick-off.

Rafael Benitez may be overseeing a successful start to the season at St James' Park but Monk is keen to treat the visit of Newcastle as just another game.

The Leeds boss said: "On paper this will be the toughest test of the season. They are top of the league, which means they have been the best team so far.

"They have high-calibre players and a high-calibre manager. They have the most expensive team in the league, so you would expect them to be where they are.

"Our approach is no different. Our job is to give 100 per cent and try and put our best football on the pitch and we know that when we do that we can fight for a result.

"We have a capacity crowd ready to support the team, we want to send people home happy and we are going out there determined to win the game."
