Daniel Farke
After a hectic schedule of games following the last international break, Leeds United now has serious opportunities to put some points on the board before January. The club will be boosted by two huge results against Chelsea and Liverpool over the past week.
Daniel Farke’s tactical switches have been excellent in the last few games, despite fans heavily criticizing him earlier in the season. The change to 3-5-2 against Manchester City in the second half nearly won his side a point, but the system was good enough to take all three points against Chelsea. And when Liverpool neutralized the formation on their visit to Elland Road, another tactical switch rescued a point for the team.

Daniel Farke can make Leeds United milestone on Sunday
Ahead of Sunday’s clash, Leeds know that they will be facing a difficult opponent in Brentford. Keith Andrews’ side have won four of their last five Premier League games at home. This will be a serious problem for Daniel Farke’s side, who are one of the worst teams in the league when playing away from home.
The Leeds boss nonetheless has a huge opportunity to hit a milestone in his career at Elland Road. The Whites have not won in London since May 2022, when a late winner from Jack Harrison was enough to give Jesse Marsch and his men three points on the road. Farke has pulled off some upset in recent games, so fans will be positive going into Sunday’s game.
Leeds have to shake off road troubles
The club’s away form has been very strange this season, their last win came in September against Wolves. Earlier this week, Ilia Gruev tried to explain why the Whites find it difficult to get results on the road:
“To be honest, it’s a difference if you play at home or away. You can feel the energy of Elland Road.” he said speaking to BBC Radio.
“It’s really, really tough to play for away teams at Elland Road.
“Sometimes also in the process, sometimes you will have these days, and sometimes you will go then to the Etihad, and things will happen like they happened.”
Fans will be hoping that Leeds can build on their results against Chelsea and Liverpool over the last week.
