Daniel Wales reports ahead of Leeds United welcoming Liverpool to Elland Road in the Premier League, in the aftermath of the Whites’ important 3-1 win over Chelsea in midweek, that saw them climb out of the relegation zone. Head Coach Daniel Farke insisted he and his players were remaining optimistic, whilst Liverpool boss Arne Slot was also being positive despite further dropped points against, this time against Sunderland.
00:00It was quite the night at Elland Road on Wednesday evening as Leeds United finally returned to winning ways in the Premier League with an emphatic 3-1 win over Chelsea.
00:12Dominic Calvert-Lewin was once again on the score sheet as Leeds put their London opponent to the sword and lifted themselves out of the relegation zone.
00:21After such a win, head coach Daniel Farker made clear that he and his side all share the belief that Leeds can escape the drop this season.
00:31Yes, there's no replacements for wins, especially to win points and also in such a massive game against a top-class opponent who was also in terms of results on fire before and then.
00:46And to win also in this manner that I think everyone agreed that it was a well-deserved win, this gives also always confidence, it's good for the mood, good for the table, good for the whole belief.
00:59Of course, also Man City away was performance-wise a top-class result with sadly a late heartbreak, but each of a good result is positive for the mood.
01:07But I was also convinced before that we have everything that is needed and we had many good performances also during the whole season and for that, yeah, we are always optimistic and positive.
01:19Leeds' next opponent's Liverpool failed to build on their win over West Ham United at the London Stadium last weekend as they drew 1-1 with Sunderland on Wednesday.
01:29But despite further dropped points, Arnie Slott was remaining positive.
01:33In the last two games we were one deflection away from keeping two clean sheets.
01:42I said against West Ham the good thing for us was that they didn't score their one and only chance and the same thing happened again in this game.
01:51They did not score the only chance they had.
01:53And you're looking at me, but they did score, yeah, but that for me was not a chance.
01:57The only chance they had was after 93 minutes when they went one-on-one to the goalkeeper.
02:01So that's a step forward if you compare that to seven goals conceded in two games.
02:08With Leeds revelling after their win, facing a stuttering Liverpool side, majors come at the right time.
