Managerless Wolverhampton Wanderers will dictate how Leeds United approach the World Cup break from next month. Jesse Marsch has set out a rough idea for how the Whites will negotiate the second, extended break of the campaign through November and December.
The broadcasters’ choices are in and Tottenham Hotspur away at 3pm on November 12 has been confirmed as the last game United will play before their squad disbands. However, it’s the clash three days earlier which will dictate the medium-term plan.
Leeds visit Molineux for a 7.45pm kick-off in the Carabao Cup on November 9 and victory would put them into round four. EFL has decided that round will play in the week commencing December 19, two days after the World Cup final and six days before the Boxing Day Premier League return with Manchester City.
