Javi Gracia's Leeds United press conference transcript in full: injury silence, tactics, Potter and facing Chelsea
Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia hosts his pre-match press conference this afternoon ahead of the Whites’ trip to Chelsea this Saturday
Leeds make the journey to West London for the second time in five days as they prepare to take on Graham Potter’s ailing Blues at Stamford Bridge. Unlike Tuesday night’s FA Cup exit to Fulham, this time Leeds return to league action coming off the back of a long-awaited Premier League win last weekend at home to Southampton.
Chelsea, meanwhile, have failed to score in five of their last six matches, losing each of their last three in all competitions as pressure intensifies on former Brighton boss Potter. A report in the Telegraph earlier this week stated that Potter’s job could be under threat if the home side do not earn a result against Leeds.
Gracia’s men have shown signs of improvement since the Spaniard took charge but the 52-year-old acknowledged there is still work to be done, particularly in terms of the team’s finishing which was wayward on Tuesday night at Craven Cottage.
The Leeds head coach will be joining the media from 1pm. Follow all the updates and everything he has to say right here.
