Leeds faces a potential scheduling conflict with the FA Cup final and Championship playoff final scheduled on consecutive days at Wembley. The Football League has a contingency plan but Leeds manager Daniel Farke hopes it won’t be needed. As Leeds competes in the FA Cup fifth round against Chelsea, Farke acknowledges the challenge of a busy schedule prioritizing league assignments.
The memory of a critical mistake in the previous season’s cup tie is still fresh. Farke expresses mixed feelings about the instant gratification of a cup run considering the tight schedule and minor injuries to key forwards. Despite Chelsea’s recent Carabao Cup final loss, Farke expects them to be highly motivated making the game more challenging for Leeds.
He emphasizes the importance of smart decision making during a crucial period for promotion. Farke acknowledges the significance of the FA Cup but highlights the need to balance priorities. The upcoming match against Chelsea is seen as a litmus test for Leeds who approach it as underdogs with a focus on solid defending and bravery.
