Leeds United will take a break from their battle to remain in the Premier League as they face Championship club Derby County in the FA Cup third round this weekend.
However, preserving their top flight status remains the main focus was Daniel Farke and his players throughout the second half of the season. The Whites may well have seen their seven-game unbeaten run brought to an agonising end by a 4-3 defeat at Newcastle United in midweek - but they remain well placed to avoid an immediate return to the second tier and are currently sitting eight points clear of the bottom three.
