Leeds Morning Round-Up, Thursday 22nd October 2026: Farke Eyes Final-Third Fix as Leeds Face Run of Winnable Games

Leeds United are approaching a run of fixtures that should properly reveal how far Daniel Farke's side have come, with LeedsLive describing it as an inviting set of games that will test whether the progress made so far is real (LeedsLive).

That comes after a frustrating final-third display at the weekend, but the Yorkshire Evening Post reports that Farke already has the personnel to put things right, with a possible Sunderland switch-up being mooted as one solution to the criticism levelled at the team (Yorkshire Evening Post).

Elsewhere, former Whites youngster Joe Gelhardt has been reflecting on his Elland Road career and his summer move to Hull City, admitting he "didn't know how big Leeds were" until he experienced it, and revealing the deal to join Hull only went through late on thanks to owner Acun Ilicali stepping in (LeedsLive).
