As Daniel Farke’s Leeds United gear up to take on Watford in the Championship clash tonight, the team is aiming to build on their unbeaten start to 2024. The last time these two teams met at Elland Road, the Whites emerged victorious with a convincing 3-0 win, thanks to goals from Joel Piroe, Sam Byram, and Jaidon Anthony.
Leeds United’s recent form has been nothing short of dominant, with 12 wins and a draw in their last 13 games, propelling them to the top of the Championship table. In contrast, Watford has been struggling, leading to the sacking of Valerian Ismael and the appointment of Tom Cleverley as interim manager.
As they prepare for the match, Farke revealed that the international break has impacted his squad, with players like Connor Roberts, Wilfried Gnonto, and Ilia Gruev facing doubts due to injuries. However, there is optimism regarding striker Georginio Rutter’s availability after hernia surgery.
Unfortunately, Pascal Struijk will remain sidelined for the rest of the season, while Stuart Dallas also continues to be out of contention. Despite these setbacks, Leeds United is ready to continue their impressive form and secure another important victory in their quest for promotion.
