As the Easter weekend approaches, Daniel Farke is ramping up preparations for a crucial double header that could have a major impact on Leeds United’s promotion hopes. Leading the Championship table, they face Watford on Friday before taking on Hull City at Elland Road on Easter Monday.
With only eight games left in the season, every point is crucial for Leeds in their quest for automatic promotion. Manager Farke is focused on ensuring his team secures maximum points in the upcoming matches. One of the top headlines surrounding the team is their interest in making Joe Rodon a permanent addition, as well as his Welsh teammate Connor Roberts.
Roberts, currently on loan with Leeds, has impressed since joining the team in January and the club is reportedly eager to sign him permanently in the summer. Despite limited starts, he has shown his value and could play a vital role in the final stretch of the season. Leeds also managed to beat out competition from various leagues to acquire Ethan Ampadu last summer, with the Wales international proving to be a key player in their promotion push.
Ampadu’s consistent performances have been crucial to Leeds’ success this season, with the new ownership at Elland Road playing a significant role in attracting the talented player. Having started every game in the Championship and donning the captain’s armband since January, Ampadu has been a key figure in Leeds’ promotion campaign.
