Despite he’s leaving Leeds United today ‘Disappointment will be on Daniel Farke

Leeds United will welcome league leaders Leicester City to Elland Road in a top-of-the-table EFL Championship clash on Friday.

The hosts have enjoyed an unbeaten run in 2024 thus far and made it five wins on the spin in all competitions last week, defeating Plymouth Argyle 2-0 in their away game.

Wilfried Gnonto opened the scoring in the 10th minute, and Georginio Rutter doubled their lead in the 72nd minute.

The visitors saw their six-game winning streak across all competitions end last week as they fell to a 2-1 home loss to Middlesbrough.

Finn Isaac Azaz and Samuel Silvera scored in quick succession in the first half to give Middlesbrough a comfortable two-goal lead.

Jamie Vardy, a second-half substitute, bagged a goal in the 85th minute.

With 13 games left to play in the Championship, the title race is far from over as second-placed Leeds and third-placed Ipswich Town trail Leicester by nine points.

Leeds need to avoid dropping points in this match to keep the pressure on the visitors.

The Whites have enjoyed an unbeaten record at home in all competitions this term, recording 13 wins in 18 games.

They have won 10 of their 11 games in 2024 thus far, scoring at least three goals in six games in that period, and are strong favorites.

There are no team news updates for the hosts for this crucial clash, with Jaidon Anthony only returning to the squad after missing out against Plymouth last week.

Patrick Bamford remains sidelined with a calf issue, so manager Daniel Farke is likely to stick with a similar starting XI from last week.

The Foxes suffered a loss after four consecutive wins and will look to bounce back in this match.

They have lost just one of their last eight away games in the Championship and will look to build on that form.

Enzo Maresca is expected to start Vardy here after the veteran striker scored coming off the bench last week.
