Daniel Farke is under some scrutiny at Leeds United, but other managers in the Premier League are under far more pressure. We have already seen one manager get sacked, and a top Premier League side could wield the axe before they take on Leeds soon.
The Leeds manager has faced questions about his team’s lack of firepower up front. However, four points from four games is a decent start for a promoted team, and Farke is not under any immediate pressure to lose his job.

While he could be on a ‘shorter leash’ in the Premier League, Farke has enough credit in the bank for earning promotion for Leeds and the 49ers are not expected to make any hasty decision on a manager whom they failed to properly back in the last transfer window.
However, some other managers are looking over their shoulders at the moment. A few could be moved on soon, and one of them is scheduled to bring his team to Elland Road soon for a big league clash against Leeds.

Graham Potter may not be the West Ham boss by the time Leeds United welcome the Hammers
West Ham are 18th in the Premier League table on three points, and have lost three of their opening four Premier League games.
The Hammers have made a terrible start to the season, and Graham Potter is under intense pressure to change the course of direction in the coming weeks.
Potter took charge of West Ham in January this year, but failed to produce any sustained run of results before the Hammers finished 14th in the league last season.
He is facing serious questions about his future, and Kieran McKenna was recently spotted in the boardroom at the London Stadium, leading to speculation of managerial change at West Ham.
The club are yet to act, but it is easy to suggest that a couple more poor results, Potter could be on his way out of the club.
Leeds and West Ham are set to clash next month at Elland Road, and the away side may well have a new manager in the dugout on 24th October.
West Ham are serious relegation contenders, and Leeds must take advantage
The Hammers’ start to the season makes them serious contenders for relegation, which makes them Leeds’ direct rivals.
The Whites are under pressure to get points from Wolves on Saturday, but in little over a month, they host West Ham at Elland Road in another potential relegation six-pointer.
West Ham may have a new manager by then, but that is no excuse for Leeds to let go of a chance to win all three points at home against the Hammers.
The Hammers are clearly struggling, and they are one of the opponents; Leeds must try to cash in and pick up as many points, especially at Elland Road.
