Leeds United v Watford: Daniel Farke press conference live, injuries and free agent midfielder hunt latest
Leeds United will make a quick return to action with Tuesday night’s Championship visit of Watford – ahead of which boss Daniel Farke is holding his pre-match press conference today.
Farke’s side will be looking to back up Friday night’s impressive 2-0 win at home to previously unbeaten Sheffield United which temporarily took the Whites second before wins for both Burnley and Sunderland from their weekend assignments. Leeds now sit third, two points behind second-placed Burnley and three adrift of leaders Sunderland.
But tomorrow night’s visit of eighth-placed Watford offers the chance for Leeds to go top with both Burnley and Sunderland not playing until Wednesday night. Watford, under boss Tom Cleverley, will be looking to bounce back from an extremely disappointing first game back after the international break via Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Luton Town.
Farke will be speaking to the media at 2.15pm from Thorp Arch and we will bring you all of the main news here including the latest on the injuries front and on United’s hunt for a new free agent midfield option in light of the longer term issues for Ethan Ampadu and Ilia Gruev.
