Leeds United faced a tough defeat at the hands of Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup, adding to their recent string of disappointing results. Despite a strong start by Daniel Farke’s men at Hillsborough, they were ultimately knocked out on penalties, following a heavy loss to Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.
With concerns rising about Farke’s position at Elland Road, former Aston Villa star Gabby Agbonlahor has predicted Leeds’ relegation from the Premier League this season. Criticizing their performance against Arsenal, Agbonlahor highlighted issues across the pitch that could see the Whites struggle in the top flight.
Farke, who led Leeds to the Championship title last season, has reinforced the squad with 10 new signings ahead of the campaign. As they prepare to face Newcastle United next, the manager will be looking to bounce back from recent setbacks and prove that Leeds can avoid immediate relegation.
While the need for a backup striker is evident following Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s underwhelming display, Farke remains confident in his team’s ability to stay clear of the relegation zone. With reinforcements in place, Leeds look to turn their fortunes around and secure their Premier League status under Farke’s guidance.
