Plymouth Argyle 0-2 Leeds United highlights: Gnonto and Georginio help Whites extend winning run to eight
United are unbeaten in ten across all competitions since the turn of the year and have already faced Plymouth twice in 2024. Leeds' first fixture against the Pilgrims this calendar year was a 1-1 draw in the FA Cup Fourth Round at Elland Road, followed by a 4-1 victory, after extra time, at Home Park.
Daniel Farke and his side return this weekend in the league, a competition they have been imperious in since New Year, maintaining a 100 per cent record, defeating teams such as Cardiff City, Birmingham City, Rotherham United and Swansea City emphatically.

Matchday programme
Adam Forshaw is the matchday programme poster-boy today. Here's a snippet of what he had to say about his time at Leeds:
Some of the lads were crying when he [Bielsa] left because of the journey we had been on together. He gave us a speech at the end and I don't think he could finish it because he was so upset.
21s got the job done
Leeds' youngsters booked their place in the quarter final of the Premier League Cup last night.
Well done, lads!
