Daniel Farke acknowledges that Sheffield Wednesday will be a challenge for his Leeds United team on Friday night, but he also claims his championship contenders won’t be intimidated by any part of the intense match at Hillsborough. Leeds is aware that, in this thrilling fight for promotion at the top of the Championship, any mistake is magnified even more at this point in the season as they attempt to maintain pressure on Leicester City and Ipswich Town.
Because of the remarkable pace being set by the three teams at the top of the league, every game feels like a must-win right now. Leeds, however, won’t have an easy time against a team looking to win their fifth straight and sixth in their last seven games when they play in a Yorkshire derby.
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.
