Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has chosen his starting lineup for Saturday’s Championship match against Huddersfield Town. The Whites enter the game on a stunning nine-game winning streak to start 2024, with seven clean sheets. Farke rotated his side for the disappointing 3-2 FA Cup loss to Chelsea in midweek, and the German has made six changes for the match against Huddersfield, according to the club’s official Twitter account [2 March]. Georginio Rutter and Ilia Gruev were both deemed doubtful before into the game, but both are expected to start at John Smith’s Stadium. Illan Meslier continues to play in…

David Prutton has shared his thoughts on Leeds United and Southampton’s promotion back to the Premier League. Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post on March 2, the Sky Sports expert believes Leeds can reduce Leicester’s six-point lead. He also believes Russell Martin can get Southampton back on track after a few disappointing results recently. He stated, “Six points is absolutely surmountable, and I believe it leaves not only second place but also first place wide open.” That’s fantastic that we’re covering and looking at it. Leeds needs to keep themselves honest. Southampton have had a difficult week, but knowing Russell…
Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool side will travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday as the Premier League title race heats up and their hosts battle for top flight survival. Liverpool travel to the City Ground on Saturday afternoon hoping to finish another match-week at the top of the standings. The Reds are on a high following their Carabao Cup final victory over Chelsea last Sunday, but Jurgen Klopp understands that now is not the time for Liverpool to celebrate. In fact, a quadruple is still possible, considering that his team has reached the last eight of the FA Cup, leads the Premier…
Prior to Dorival Junior’s first call up as Brazil’s national team coach, Nottingham Forest defender Murillo was expected to be named on the list. Since the centre-back is enjoying a wonderful debut season in the Premier League, many people wondered if he deserved a position, and ESPN Brasil even asked him about it. Murillo did not make the list, but UOL’s squad coverage includes columns from Danilo Lavieri and Walter Casagrande Jr., both of whom reference Nottingham Forest. In the first, Casagrande emphasized the defender’s abilities and noted that he has a lot of room to advance in his career.…
Daniel Farke had hoped to rest Junior Firpo on Wednesday night for Leeds United’s trip to Chelsea, but Jamie Shackleton pulled out in the 11th hour, leaving the Dominican to play another 90 minutes. Injury, illness, and another transfer window without a new left-back have left Junior Firpo to hold the fort in Leeds United’s corner. Firpo has missed only 164 of Leeds’ 1,200 minutes over the last 13 matches. For a man with such a dismal injury record since arriving in 2021, Firpo has produced a surprisingly steady body of work in 2024. Daniel Farke had intended to give…
Mason Cotcher got off to a great start on trial with Leeds United as he looks to sign a contract to stay with the club. The former Sunderland teenager was brought in for the Whites to consider alongside Manchester United’s Majid Balogun last month, and he promptly scored the winner against his former club in a 1-0 victory for the under-18s on February 24. Cotcher, 17, has spent time with United and Arsenal since leaving the North East this season, but has yet to be offered a full-time contract. That may change now that he has arrived in West Yorkshire,…
A LOOK BACK: Liverpool face Nottingham Forest tonight for the fifth time under Jurgen Klopp, with some accusing the Reds manager of being ‘disrespectful’ for his comments in the build-up to their first meeting in 2022. Liverpool are due to face Nottingham Forest later today, with both teams needing for points. It will be Jurgen Klopp’s fifth encounter with Forest, with Liverpool winning three of the previous four and losing one. The first meeting took place in 2022, when Liverpool traveled to the City Ground for an FA Cup quarterfinal match while Forest were still in the Championship. And Klopp…
Leeds United goalkeeper Illan Meslier believes the current Whites side under Daniel Farke is superior to the one he played with under Marcelo Bielsa in 2019/20. Leeds’ hopes of promotion this season remain high, as they are firmly in contention for automatic promotion, albeit with twists and turns to come before the season’s final against Southampton in May. Daniel Farke has been here twice before with Norwich City, as have a few members of the Leeds club who won the title in 2019/20. Illan Meslier makes a bold claim when comparing Leeds in 19/20 and 23/24. Prior to the match…
FLW’s Sheffield Wednesday fan commentator has given his opinion on the potential of a permanent Leeds United transfer this summer. This post is part of Football League World’s ‘Terrace Talk’ series, which features personal comments from FLW Fan Pundits on breaking news, teams, players, managers, potential signings, and more. Ian Poveda joined Sheffield Wednesday on deadline day of the January transfer window.

So far this season, the 24-year-old has appeared five times for Danny Rohl’s team and…
The German head coach should reintroduce the Whites star into the starting lineup. Leeds United were sidetracked from their Championship achievements this week as they met Chelsea in the fifth round of the FA Cup at Stamford Bridge. Mateo Joseph gave the Whites the lead early on, but Nicolas Jackson and Mykhaylo Mudryk scored in the first half to put the hosts ahead at halftime. Joseph subsequently scored his second goal of the night with a header at the back post, but Conor Gallagher scored a late winner for the Blues, securing their place in the quarterfinals. Daniel Farke’s side…
