Victor Orta names his biggest Leeds United achievement as ‘huge’ Stoke City prediction made

Leeds United are now preparing to get back to action on Wednesday night after a memorable away day in the South-East. The Whites came from behind to defeat Norwich City at Carrow Road, with Crysencio Summerville scoring a brace to continue his fine form.

Stoke City are next up for Leeds, and the Potters head into the clash with a win of their own, defeating Sunderland last time out. Daniel Farke’s men will need to continue their good form if they want to close the gap on the top two, though. In the meantime, we have rounded up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding Elland Road.

Orta admission

Victor Orta has been speaking about his time at Leeds. “The thing I feel proud about is not bringing in Bielsa or buying Raphinha but the culture I created where, from Maria Dowson in the ticket office to the scorer of the goals, Patrick Bamford, all the people could contribute to the success and were committed to the success of Leeds United,” the now Sevilla chief told the i.

“In the office in Elland Road we had a carpet and the person who kicked the football closest to the middle won a voucher to go to a restaurant in Leeds. It was only 30 minutes but you had all the people from the different departments interacting – marketing, scouting, club secretary, director, media people.”

Prutton’s prediction

David Prutton has been predicting Leeds’ clash with Stoke City. “That was a huge result for Alex Neil on Saturday. To take a win against his old Sunderland side was badly needed and should give them some confidence,” Prutton said on the Sky Sports website.

“But they run into a Leeds side in form, and who showed their resilience against Norwich on Saturday, battling back from two down to win 3-2. I think this is another three Leeds points, and I don’t think it will be as tough for them as it was at Carrow Road.”
