Jesse Marsch press conference live: Leeds United boss previews Arsenal and offers injury update
and live on Freeview channel 276
Leeds’ opponents this weekend have dropped just three points in the Premier League this season and remain unbeaten in this year’s edition of the UEFA Europa League. Arsenal visit Elland Road on Sunday with Leeds already on a five-game winless streak.
It promises to be Jesse Marsch’s sternest test as Leeds head coach this season, and perhaps his most difficult opponent since the 4-0 defeat to Manchester City late last season. The American vowed that the team would begin to pick up results during his post-match press conference at Crystal Palace last weekend, reiterating his belief in the squad and their ability to avoid a similar scenario to last year in which the Whites narrowly staved off relegation.
