Leeds United have reached the end of the Premier League’s World Cup break and the restart of the domestic season is almost upon us. In just a few days’ time, Leeds will welcome Manchester City to Elland Road and they’ll be raring to go after playing three mid-season friendlies over the last few weeks.
The Whites saw off Elche during their warm weather training camp in Spain, before edging their way past the challenge of Real Sociedad on home soil last Friday. Jesse Marsch’s side came unstuck against Monaco on Wednesday, losing 4-2, but the head coach will approach the restart with confidence that his side are equipped and able to pull away from the relegation zone and climb the table in the New Year.
Here’s a look at some of the winners and losers from Leeds’ mid-season break.
