Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has channeled Jurgen Klopp’s opening Liverpool gambit of 2015 in his attempt to convert doubters into believers at Elland Road. Merseyside’s red tide began to change in October 2015. Jurgen Klopp’s first news conference as Liverpool manager struck a chord with Leeds United head Daniel Farke.

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke will have to make one forced alteration in his starting lineup for Monday’s televised trip to Middlesbrough.

Wyness has…
