Leicester City vs Leeds United: Daniel Farke press conference and fitness update ahead of table-topping clash

Leeds United boss Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference this afternoon ahead of the Whites’ visit to the King Power Stadium on Friday evening.

Leicester City await Leeds this weekend, as United kick off the Championship’s schedule with an 8pm start in the East Midlands on Friday night. The Foxes have won 13 of their opening 14 league games this season and have been in daunting form lately, winning nine straight Championship games since defeat against Hull City in early September.

Leeds are on a good run of their own with four wins out of their last five but this weekend’s fixture will be the sternest test of their promotion credentials under Farke.

Updates on the fitness of Stuart Dallas, Djed Spence and Junior Firpo are expected this afternoon, while it is hoped Farke has good news on the likes of Crysencio Summerville who complained of some discomfort at half-time against Huddersfield Town last weekend, and Joe Rodon who was substituted during the second half after feeling something in his hamstring.
