That run has brought the Whites within two points of second-placed Ipswich and one of third-placed Southampton.

"We don't want to speak about it, but we know the next two games are massive," Firpo told BBC Radio Leeds.

"We can be top two. It could be the first time that we are in the top two positions, and they (Leeds' rivals) feel the pressure.

"We know how important the next two games are and we're taking it game by game."

While Leeds are in FA Cup action this weekend, playing Plymouth Argyle in round four, they then travel to Bristol City on Friday, 2 February before a home game against bottom side Rotherham eight days later.

Former Real Betis and Barcelona defender Firpo has found a run of form in Leeds colours after an injury-affected spell at Elland Road, taking the left-back spot in recent weeks and forming a partnership with Crysencio Summerville down that flank.

"It's just me staying fit," Firpo added, stating this was his best period of form at the club.

"The style we play really suits me, to have a player in front of me like Cry [Summerville], we have a good partnership and talk during the week.

"There are a lot of things together, we have a really good team, the manager's style suits me and the players are on fire, and our win is great."
