Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference this afternoon ahead of the Whites’ opening fixture in their 2024/25 Championship campaign.

Portsmouth are first up for Leeds this season as the newly-promoted south coast club prepare to arrive at Elland Road on Saturday morning.

United kick off at lunchtime this weekend and a sell-out stadium in LS11 will be keen to get off on the right foot after play-off final disappointment two-and-a-half months ago.

In that time, Leeds have bid farewell to the likes of Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville, both of whom have secured Premier League moves, whilst welcoming Joe Rodon back on a permanent transfer as well as seeing Jayden Bogle, Joe Rothwell and Alex Cairns sign.

During pre-season Farke has witnessed his team win five out of five, including an impressive 2-1 victory over Spanish side Valencia. Whether they can carry through their friendly form into Saturday’s meeting with Pompey remains to be seen but certainly bodes well for the season ahead.

Follow everything the Leeds boss has to say this afternoon. Press conference scheduled to begin at 1:30pm.
