Leeds United boss Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference ahead of the Whites’ visit to Stoke City on Wednesday evening.

Leeds go in search of their fourth straight victory in the Potteries this week as Alex Neil’s 20th-placed Stoke stand in the way of United consolidating themselves as the Championship’s form team.

Only Leicester City, Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town have taken more points than Leeds from their last five matches. United have been beaten just once in their last ten games, although that did come away from home.

Leeds overcame a two-goal deficit at Carrow Road on Saturday as Farke’s former employers Norwich City were dispatched thanks to a Crysencio Summerville-inspired second half display.

Stoke, meanwhile, defeated promotion-chasing Sunderland at the Bet365 Stadium proving their lowly position in the table does not mean Wednesday night’s result will be foregone conclusion in Leeds’ favour.

Farke’s press conference this afternoon is on the way from 1pm. Follow all the updates as the Leeds boss provides an update on who will be available for the trip to Staffordshire.

Stoke City 0-3 Leeds United - August 2019

Gjanni Alioski and Patrick Bamford on the scoresheet and *that* Stuart Dallas goal - the good old days.

Promotion with the current group might not top 2019/20 but it would certainly be a fitting reward for the hard work done so far by Daniel Farke, his staff and players.

And, at least we’d all be there to witness it this time. Still, a long way to go in the season.

Welcome to Thorp Arch
