Leeds United picked up another huge result in their battle for survival; the club have now extended their great run of form. Daniel Farke has seen a massive turnaround in form since December.
The Whites kicked of the New Year with impressive results against Liverpool and Manchester United. A lot of credit has to go to Farke and how he has set up the team over the last month; his new 3-5-2 system has brought the best out of a lot of players.

Jamie Carragher makes Leeds United claim after Everton result
Monday night saw Leeds face a difficult Everton side at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The Whites took the lead in the first half through an unlikely source; James Justin. Anton Stach, who was making his return to the lineup, provided the assist. The away side controlled the game for most of the proceedings, but they gave up a goal late in the second half. Thierno Barry levelled the scores in the 76th minute. The game ended in a draw.
Jamie Carragher, who was on punditry duty during the game was impressive with how Leeds United played on the night:
“Massive problem, I mean Leeds have been fantastic, Everton have made them look like Real Madrid, they’re in the all white and that’s what they look like in the first half but the wing backs have caused Everton huge problems.
“So you see this coming together here, there was complaints about that being a foul, I’m not sure.”
