The club from Elland Road was brought back from the Championship by Daniel Farke only on the second attempt. It is clear that now they need to secure their position in the Premier League. However, not everything is working out, and they are engaged in a tough battle for survival. For example, another defeat recently came against Manchester City.
The London giant, after several unsuccessful years, has improved under Maresca. The club has returned to the Premier League’s top four and claimed a number of new trophies—first the Conference League, then the Club World Cup. Despite several injuries, the team is still performing at a high level. Against Arsenal, they even managed a 1-1 draw while playing with ten men. In the Champions League, they recently beat Barcelona 3-0.
