Leeds United
Leeds United are still reeling from the loss at the hands of Arsenal last weekend. The game came as a bit of a surprise considering the impressive run of form the Whites had been on since December.
Daniel Farke managed to turn the team’s fortunes around near the end of last year. They managed to string a series of impressive results including victories over Chelsea and Crystal Palace. In that run, they managed to go unbeaten in two games against Liverpool.

Journalist gives Leeds United relegation verdict
Leeds now face Nottingham Forest in a crucial relegation clash on Friday night, with Sean Dyche’s side unbeaten in their last four league games. Journalist Vithushan Ehantharajah has tipped the Whites to be one of the teams to go down on the final day following their recent form:
”I don’t think its Forest or West Ham, I think it might end up being Leeds and West Ham.” he mentioned on Football Ramble.
”I feel like Leeds have shown that they’re basically operating at the limit of their capability… by this time next week or even the end of next weekend, West Ham could be three points away from getting out of the relegation zone, they’re very likely to beat Burnley, Nottingham Forest and Leeds play each other on Friday night, it’s going to change in the space of six days,”

A lot left to do for the Whites this season
Leeds United are still outside the relegation zone, but things change very quickly in the Premier League. The Whites have to be on high alert especially after the events of the transfer window. Their rivals have seriously added some quality reinforcements – Nottingham Forest managed to add multiple key signings. West Ham also boosted their squad for the second half of the campaign.
From now, every game counts, starting from that crucial game up against Sean Dyche’s side on Friday night. It is a match the Whites cannot afford to drop points after their last two results. Fans will be hoping that home form counts at Elland Road this time around.
