Daniel Farke’s ‘aggressive’ Sheffield Wednesday warning as Leeds United boss has pitch concern

Leeds United travel to Hillsborough to take on Sheffield Wednesday on Friday evening

Daniel Farke acknowledges that his Leeds United team faces a difficult match when they travel to Sheffield Wednesday

on Friday night, but he also claims his championship contenders won’t be

intimidated by anything about the intense match at Hillsborough. Leeds

wants to maintain pressure on Leicester City and Ipswich Town in an amazing

fight for promotion at the top of the Championship, and they know that any

mistake is magnified much more at this point in the season.

Because of the fantastic pace being set by the three teams at the top of the league, every game feels like a must-win right

now. However, Leeds won’t have an easy time against a team vying for their fifth

title in a Yorkshire rivalry. another triumph and the sixth in seven games.

Although Sheffield Wednesday is now in the relegation zone, they have improved under Danny Rohl in recent weeks. With

a win over Leeds, they would jump from 23rd to 16th in the rankings, and the

hosts are sure that a victory will disrupt the title race.

Farke acknowledges that his Leeds team will have a difficult test on Friday night,

pointing to the Hillsborough pitch and the physical style of the Owls. However,

with his team’s remarkable run of victories in the past taking center stage,

the Leeds manager is cautious but optimistic.

Both of our teams are in excellent form, however they are clearly positioned

differently in the table. A team is considered good if it can win five of the

previous six games or four of the previous seven,” Farke clarified. “They

are now playing pretty well. They still have to fight and struggle to avoid

relegation because of their slow start to the league, but if you look at their form,

they are among the best teams, and we appreciate that.

“We are aware of the poor quality of the surface and that our opponent will play

with aggression and physicality. I don’t see any reason why we should travel in

fear because we also know that we are in excellent condition.”

Leeds is anticipated to start the game with a lineup that is nearly same to the

one that took the field against Stoke City on Tuesday. Meanwhile, their hosts are

concerned about the health of veteran midfielder Barry Bannan.
