Leeds United duo Dan James and Joe Rodon say they are keen to carry their impressive home form into away games.

The Whites are the joint-strongest team at home along with Sheffield United, picking up 28 points from 11 games at Elland Road where they have now won eight on the bounce.

But Daniel Farke's side are eighth in the away form table with 14 points from 10 games and just three wins on the road (D5 L2).

"We've had great home form this season and we always want it to be tough when people come to our place," James told BBC's Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast ahead of the visit of Oxford United on Saturday.

"We need to keep that going, but we need to win away from home as well."

Rodon said Leeds "want to win every game" but every team in the Championship "offers a different challenge".

"It's more just about being consistent, being together as a team, making more chances and being more ruthless and clinical," he said.

"The last couple of away games, we conceded in the first half so that's something we've looked at and something we want to try and change and limit.

"And overall, just be very consistent as we are at home and turn that into away games."

James said scoring the first goal in a game is crucial to then go on to score more and "dominate" teams.

"I don't think we've been as good away at doing that," James added. "That's something we want to improve on."
