Farke looking to alter Leeds narrative this season
Daniel Farke says his Leeds United team is working hard to prove the old saying "Leeds is falling apart again" wrong this season after two big wins in the FA Cup and Premier League.
Leeds produced two important victories in the space of eight days, with its quarter-final triumph over West Ham United in the FA Cup followed up by a win against Manchester United in the Premier League.
Its triumph at Old Trafford was the club's first league win at The Theatre of Dreams since 1981, while it was its first top-flight victory over the Red Devils since September 2002.
But, more importantly, it was a result that moved Leeds six points clear of the relegation zone with six matches of its Premier League season remaining.
The first of those comes at home this weekend against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Farke insisted that the clash with Rob Edwards' side is far from a foregone conclusion.
"I'm pretty tired, like after the FA Cup game, but I'm pretty relieved," Farke said.
"I'm unbelievably proud of the boys. What a week we've had.
"We are working to get rid of this old narrative that 'Leeds are falling apart again'. We want to deliver when it counts.
"It is a huge step forward for us – but I'm not so interested in the gap, I'm interested in the amount of points.
"Nothing has been achieved yet, so we have no reason but to stay grounded, humble and hungry."
For Wolves, meanwhile, Elland Road could be the venue that sees their Premier League relegation confirmed after they were thrashed 4-0 by West Ham last time out.
Should results go against them, Wolves' demotion to the EFL Championship will be sealed, bringing to an end a miserable season from start to finish.
"It's really important that we make sure we show the best of ourselves during the remaining games," Edwards said.
"We've got to respond well at Elland Road, which we know will be a very difficult game. The lads know, they're nodding their heads as I'm speaking in there.
"In a couple of moments, we got punished. You look at the score line, but I don't feel like it was that sort of game anyway.
"I'm really surprised. It's a bit baffling, speaking to the players at the end, I can't really get my head around how it ran away from us."
