Leeds United travel to Luton Town this Saturday knowing that they must win to arrest a recent slide of one win in the last five league outings.
Daniel Farke is looking to get his side back on track at the start of April with a return to maximum points away at Luton’s Kenilworth Road on Saturday afternoon. They must do so to ensure they remain inside the top two after matchday 40. The Gap Between The Premier League & The…

Despite the heartache of a late Swansea City equaliser last time out at Elland Road, the main blow the side took was the mental one of such a frustrating late goal to concede. Now, away to Luton, anything but a win won’t do for Farke and Leeds.

It means the calamity won’t go without punishment, with pundits calling for the Leeds boss to make a ‘brave’ change, with Sam Allardyce’s 2023 call on Meslier vindicated
