A preview of Wednesday’s game.
Leeds United play their second away fixture in the Sky Bet Championship after returning from the international break on Wednesday evening.
The Whites go to the bet365 Stadium to face Stoke City in an 8 p.m. kickoff, which will be shown live on Sky Sports.
Daniel Farke’s team has won three straight league games, including a thrilling comeback triumph away at Norwich City last time out.
After falling behind by two goals in the first half, the manager ordered his team to keep working hard in the second, and it paid off. Leeds took the lead with five minutes remaining thanks to an own goal and a double from Crysencio Summerville, and they held on to the three points.
Stoke had also won their previous two games. Alex Neil‘s side reversed a difficult run of form by defeating Sunderland at home over the weekend, thanks to goals from Ryan MMaee and Luke McNally.
The victory was sorely needed, and it lifted The Potters out of the bottom three in the table. Stoke City are now just six points away from a play-off spot in what is typically a tightly contested and close league.
Leeds have now won four of their previous five games, with goals from all across the field playing a key role. So far in the 2023/24 season, the Whites have seen 12 different scorers, with Joel Piroe leading the way with five and Summerville close behind with four.
Stoke have 13 different scorers, with Andre Vidigal leading the way with five.
