The BBC pundit has given his thoughts on the FA Cup third round clash
Chris Sutton has backed Leeds United to chalk up their first win of 2025 this weekend. The Whites enter tomorrow's FA Cup third round tie with Harrogate Town on the back of successive draws with Blackburn Rovers and Hull City.
He said: "Harrogate are in the the third round for only the second time in their history but they are struggling at the moment. Their manager, Simon Weaver, is the son of the club's chairman - I could have done with my dad being the chairman when I was in charge at Lincoln, but he probably would have sacked me anyway.
Farke was named the Championship manager of the month for December, beating Scott Parker, Danny Rohl and Marti Cifuentes to the prize respectively. The Whites went unbeaten last month, accumulating an impressive 16 points from six matches. It is the fifth time in Farke’s career he has claimed the award in the second tier of English football.
Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman, who made up part of the judging panel, said: “Leeds had another strong month in December, and are now five points ahead of last season in their push for the Premier League. They had eight different scorers and only conceded two goals in a month that saw them collect 16 points from a possible 18.”
