Leeds United have received a warning about the continuous threat of Leicester City, despite their incredible start to the season. The highly anticipated match between the two teams will take place on Friday evening, with Daniel Farke’s team heading to the East Midlands to face the league leaders.
Leicester managed to secure a narrow victory against struggling QPR on Saturday, thanks to Harry Winks’ 80th-minute winner. However, it was only after QPR had been reduced to 10 men 21 minutes earlier. This result allowed Enzo Maresca’s side to maintain their five-point lead at the top of the table and their impressive 14-point advantage over Leeds, who currently sit in third place.
Although Farke claims that he is not concerned about the league table at this stage, he undoubtedly sees Friday’s match as an opportunity to halt Leicester’s momentum and make a statement to the rest of the league.
Despite Leicester’s remarkable start of 13 wins out of 14 matches, a former Scotland and Wolves striker has warned Leeds that the Foxes have yet to deliver a complete performance throughout an entire 90-minute match. He emphasized that during certain moments, or even for a span of 30 minutes, Leicester dominates the game and scores goals with clinical precision. This ability to click into gear and run away with the game is what makes them a frightening opponent. The striker also noted that it comes as no surprise that Leicester is at the top of the league, considering their quality and financial backing, making them a strong contender for the title.
