The question was posed to chief football writer Richard Sutcliffe during his Facebook Live question and answer session on the Yorkshire Post Football page.
Sutcliffe said: “It doesn’t help Garry Monk that Huddersfield are top of the league. David Wagner has obviously had a lot more time in the job because he came in in November but his summer transfer dealings were superb.
“Leeds won’t like Huddersfield are above them. It’s not happened since 1961/62 that Huddersfield has finished above Leeds and that, in a funny way, piles pressure on them.
