Leeds United vs Southampton: Daniel Farke discusses promotion chances amid new injury update
Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his final pre-match press conference of the regular Championship season ahead of the Whites’ fixture against Southampton.
This afternoon’s pre-match presser is unlikely to be the last of its kind this season with Leeds most probably having to participate in the Championship play-offs later this month.
Farke chose not to discuss the probability of that particular scenario following his side’s 4-0 defeat by Queens Park Rangers last Friday but after Ipswich Town’s victory against Coventry City earlier this week, the automatic promotion picture is an especially stark one from a Leeds perspective.
United must beat Southampton on Saturday afternoon and hope a Huddersfield Town side, practically already relegated to League One, can pick up three points against Kieran McKenna’s Premier League hopefuls at Portman Road.
It’s a tall order but not impossible, therefore it will be intriguing to see the sort of line Farke takes in his press conference today.
The boss will be joining us in the Thorp Arch media suite from 1:30pm. Stay tuned.
