Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his second pre-match press conference of the week on Friday afternoon as the Whites prepare to host struggling Championship neighbours Huddersfield Town.

The Terriers are currently experiencing a troubling run of form and are yet to feel the benefits of so-called ‘new manager bounce’ following Darren Moore’s appointment. Chairman Kevin Nagle described their midweek defeat to Cardiff City as ‘unacceptable’ and their task isn’t about to get any easier with a trip to Elland Road on the cards this Saturday,

Daniel Farke comes into this one on the back of a defeat, as well, having masterminded a comeback against former employers Norwich City last weekend. Leeds were unable to repeat their heroics in Staffordshire on Wednesday night as Stoke City recorded a 1-0 win. Farke made a handful of changes to his starting XI which didn’t quite pay dividends. Much of the discussion this afternoon will surround the German’s plans for the starting line-up tomorrow lunchtime.

Farke’s press conference is due to begin at 12:30pm today. Follow all the text updates from the manager right here.
