Monday will be a very important game for Leeds United at Elland Road. The result could see the club return to the Premier League for the first time since 2022.
Daniel Farke has done a great job to guide the club back to the top after the events of last season. When Leeds lost the playoff final, that summer was an unpleasant one for fans. Many players left the club as they looked to play top level football, leaving Leeds to rebuild this year.
Despite all this, Farke has built a formidable core of players, and they are one step away from achieving Premier League promotion.
