Leeds United aims for their second away victory of the Premier League season this Sunday as they face Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Manager Daniel Farke emphasized the significance of securing points as the team strives to improve their standings.
Farke Discusses The Importance of Every Point
In a pre-match press conference at Thorp Arch, Farke highlighted the necessity of regaining momentum and adding points to their tally. He acknowledges the challenges posed by Nottingham Forest, a team that finished last season strong by qualifying for European competitions.
Season Context and Upcoming Match
Farke advised against reading too much into the early season standings. He stated, “At this stage of the season, you can’t interpret too much into the fixtures.” As the competition evolves, team positions can change drastically as the season progresses.
- Last season, Nottingham Forest showcased strong performances.
- This year, however, their fate remains uncertain; they could find themselves mid-table or facing different challenges.
Farke reiterated the importance of approaching every match with the highest level of performance. “As a newly promoted side, you must be at your peak to earn points,” he remarked. This weekend’s match in Nottingham is expected to be competitive, requiring Leeds to prepare thoroughly.
Looking Ahead
Leeds currently sits with three wins this season but recognizes that this is insufficient for their aspirations. “We need more victories. Every point holds significant value at this level,” Farke declared. Both teams are eager for points, indicating a potentially tight and complicated match.
With determination to return to their best form, Leeds United is focused on the opportunity to gather crucial points in their upcoming match against Nottingham Forest.
