Leeds United Players at the 2022 World Cup

Leeds United have endured a disappointing 2022-23 season so far as they are 15th in the league standings, with just two points ahead of the relegation zone. Jesse Marsch came on the brink of getting sacked last month following the 3-2 Fulham defeat, which left them without a victory in eight consecutive matches. 

However, things have been a little encouraging for the Whites since as Marsch led his side to a massive 2-1 victory at Liverpool. The Yorkshire outfit followed that up with a 4-3 success at home against Bournemouth. They also fought really hard at Tottenham Hotspur but were forced to return empty handed after Bentancur’s late fireworks helped his side to a 4-3 victory.
