Leeds manager Daniel Farke has cautioned his team against excessive motivation ahead of their home game against Championship leaders Leicester on Friday. A ninth consecutive league win could narrow the gap between second-placed Leeds and the Foxes to six points. Farke stressed the importance of treating the game like any other emphasizing the need for composure.

Despite acknowledging the special nature of the match, Farke wants to maintain focus and consistency. Leeds has enjoyed a flawless start to 2024 and aims for a return to the Premier League. While acknowledging Leicester’s strong position, Farke remains concentrated on his team’s performance. Leicester led by Enzo Maresca seeks redemption after a recent defeat to Middlesbrough and a prior loss to Leeds.

Midfielder Harry Winks anticipates a challenging atmosphere at Elland Road but emphasizes Leicester’s determination to prove themselves and maintain their lead in the Championship. Winks believes the promotion battle may extend to the final games of the season considering the competition from teams like Ipswich and Southampton.
