Leeds United is counting on a hero to emerge in the final three matches of the season as their push for automatic promotion has hit a rough patch, only picking up five points out of a possible 15 since the international break.
Despite the recent struggles, Leeds is still in the race thanks to the form of Ipswich Town and Leicester City. However, Southampton’s resurgence has made the promotion battle intense.
The attacking duo of Crysencio Summerville and Georginio Rutter, who have been Leeds’ top performers under Daniel Farke, have seen a dip in form recently, causing concern for the team’s promotion hopes.
While Summerville failed to make an impact against Blackburn Rovers, Rutter has struggled with possession in the number 10 role. It might be time for a positional change for Rutter to regain his effectiveness.
In light of the attacking struggles, Willy Gnonto has been a bright spot for Leeds, scoring crucial goals in recent matches. Farke should rely on Gnonto as the main man in the run-in, as he has shown the ability to create chances and pose a threat in front of goal.
With key matches ahead, Gnonto’s form could be the key to Leeds’ promotion hopes, and Farke must make use of his talents to secure a spot in the top division.
