LEEDS UNITED have impressed David Prutton so far this term.
The Whites came into the new campaign off the back of May's seventh-place finish, five points outside the play-offs.
And questions were raised over whether they'd be able to cope with the loss of goal machine Chris Wood to Burnley.
Leeds have made a stellar start to the season though and currently sit second in the Championship, unbeaten in six league games.
Sky Sports pundit Prutton has revealed his thoughts on how they're shaping up ahead of Tuesday night's showdown with Birmingham.
Prutton said: "Leeds are starting to look a real team under Thomas Christiansen and absolutely hammered Burton on Saturday. It's remarkable to think they hadn't even scored yet at home in the Sky Bet Championship this season!"
Prutton reckons Leeds will run out 3-1 winners at Elland Road.
And he says Tuesday night's fixture is too early for Harry Redknapp's new-look Birmingham to show what they're made of.
He added: "Birmingham have signed a lot of players and, while I think the results will start to come, the trip to Elland Road will be too soon for Harry Redknapp's men."
Leeds' continue their battle to secure promotion to the Premier League against Millwall on Saturday.
And they return to Carabao Cup action against Burnley next Tuesday.
