After taking care of business over the weekend, Leeds United is now getting ready for a Tuesday night match against Swansea City in South Wales. The Whites maintained the pressure on individuals in positions of authority on Saturday by easily defeating Rotherham United.
Although they have played one more game than Southampton, Daniel Farke’s team is only one point behind them in second place. We’ve compiled the most recent Elland Road news and transfer rumors as Leeds attempts to defeat the Swans.

Robinson on fringe players
former Leeds goalkeeper feels that despite Farke’s team’s winning streak, marginal players have no right to be upset about their lack of playing time or time spent on loan this season. “They are cultivating players, as well as players who were added specifically for that purpose. It’s crucial for their development that they go out on loan in January and acquire playing time, Robinson told MOT Leeds News.
“From a Leeds point of view and the manager’s point of view you look at the squad that he works with. When you’re at a club like Leeds and the team are playing well, second or third in the Championship, looking for automatic promotion, they’re unbeaten this calendar year, they’ve won all their games other than the draw in the FA Cup.
“You can’t complain about not playing football when the manager is working with a squad that’s winning games. Unfortunately it’s not a time to rotate, or bring players through and develop them, when you’re pushing for promotion to the Premier League.”
Rodon warning
Liam Cullen, a standout for Swansea, made a joke on Tuesday night, saying that Joe Rodon, his old teammate, will be getting some kicks. “I am expecting a few kicks, but he can expect a couple back,” he said to the BBC. It will be good to face them and maybe win, so I am looking forward to that on Tuesday night. There will be some familiar faces.
“It will be nice to see them, but for that 90 minutes it won’t be. We have to do our jobs, we have to go again and look to get the three points at home. Our home form is something we can really improve on and hopefully we can start that on Tuesday night.”
