Leeds United hesd coach Garry Monk has reserved high praise for his Brighton counterpart Chris Hughton ahead of his side’s trip to the south coast club on Friday night.

Currently second in the league table, the Seagulls are one of the favourites to earn Premier League promotion this season and will be taking on an in-form Leeds this Friday night at home.
And Leeds boss Monk revealed his admiration for Hughton and admits that the former Tottenham defender has never failed to impress him.
He said in a press conference: "Every time I come across him he impresses me.

The Leeds boss is expecting a tough test away at Brighton on Friday night, where a win will take his side to third in the Championship table momentarily.
