Leeds United manager Daniel Farke hosts his pre-match press conference this afternoon at 1:30pm as his side prepare to face Sheffield Wednesday.

The Whites’ Yorkshire rivals visit Elland Road having lost each of their four opening league fixtures this season under new boss Xisco Munoz.

Darren Moore’s mid-summer departure rocked the South Yorkshire club and as yet the Owls are still to show they have the capacity to perform without the manager instrumental in their promotion from League One last term.

Farke, on the other hand, welcomed new signings Djed Spence, Glen Kamara and Ilia Gruev to Elland Road this week in what is shaping up to be a positive outcome to the summer transfer window.

The German is expected to field several questions on his new additions, as well as the futures of Willy Gnonto and Luis Sinisterra before tonight’s 11pm transfer deadline.

Welcome to Thorp Arch

Good afternoon, we’re up at Thorp Arch where Daniel Farke will host his customary pre-match press conference from 1:30pm. Not much else going on today, is there? Perfect time to schedule a press conference.

Wait, there’s the small matter of the transfer deadline to contend with, too. My mistake.

Follow this blog throughout the afternoon for Farke updates.

Farke on signings

I'm really, really pleased with our signings in the last days. I think a brilliant piece of business, Djed Spence. He has proved especially on this level that he can be outstanding.
