Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has confirmed that the team will make significant changes to their starting lineup for their FA Cup fourth round match against Millwall. Farke emphasized the importance of managing the busy schedule and rapid turnarounds inherent in the Championship, stating that rotation is a necessity during such periods. Striker Patrick Bamford is unavailable due to a hamstring injury, while Leeds aims to progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup. The Whites have been in stellar form this year, scoring 18 goals in seven league matches and maintaining a clean sheet streak since their loss to Hull City on January 4th. The team extended their lead at the top of the table with a 2-0 victory over Coventry City midweek.
Leeds United will field a heavily rotated side for their FA Cup fourth round clash at home to Millwall on Saturday, Daniel Farke has confirmed.
"We want to be successful and use the chance to go through to the fifth round. We know that it's perhaps not realistic for us to win the FA Cup but we take it step by step." Farke's team cranked up the pressure on their promotion rivals in midweek, overcoming Coventry City 2-0 at the CBS Arena to go five points clear at the top of the table. They ended the clash with an expected goals tally of 2.7, having generated six big chances.
