Leeds United are on a weekend collision course with promotion rivals Ipswich Town – ahead of which boss Daniel Farke held his pre-match press conference on Thursday afternoon.

A return of just one point from United’s last two games has seen third-placed Leeds fall ten points off the division’s second automatic promotion place occupied by Ipswich who face the Whites in their own back yard on Saturday in a 12.30pm kick-off.

Sam Byram (hamstring), Jamie Shackleton (glute) and longer term absentee Stuart Dallas (femoral fracture) remain out for Leeds but Junior Firpo returned to training at the back end of last week after a hamstring injury whilst Ian Poveda was due back on Monday following international duty with Colombia.

Ahead of the Ipswich visit, Whites manager Farke held his pre-match press conference at 1.30pm at Thorp Arch on Thursday and here is every word from United’s German boss.
