Leeds United fans can expect to learn plenty more about Jesse Marsch’s side over the next week as pre-season takes a more demanding turn. The Whites have picked up two wins so far this summer, seeing off Blackpool in York before flying out to Australia and beating Brisbane Roar in the first game of their tour Down Under.
However, Leeds will meet Premier League opposition on Sunday when they take on Aston Villa at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, just an hour up the road from their previous base in Gold Coast. Steven Gerrard’s side will provide a stern test for Leeds and Marsch will be keen to see his side’s progress in front of what is expected to be a sizeable crowd.
Midfielder Adam Forshaw should be involved in some capacity against the Villans, and against Crystal Palace in Perth on Friday, and he’s eager for Leeds to kick on as they continue their preparations for the season ahead.
