What ‘sources’ say Cardiff players are doing behind-the-scenes ahead of playing Leeds United
Leeds United and Cardiff City are two sides under pressure heading into their upcoming clash in South Wales.
Leeds‘ defeat to Burnley on Saturday has turned their solid start into an average one and defeat against the Bluebirds would leave Daniel Farke under serious pressure from the fans, perhaps more so than the board.
Farke has been criticised for the manner of Leeds’ defeat at the weekend as unfortunately, it was a script that has been seen a number of times before during his tenure.
However, despite the frustration of the defeat at Elland Road, they next face a side where things are currently considerably worse.
Cardiff currently sit bottom of the table with just one point from their opening five matches, though their poor start only increases the pressure on Leeds to come away with a positive result.
What Cardiff players are doing ahead of Leeds
Having come close to relegation in 2022/23, Cardiff enjoyed a solid mid-table finish last season, in what was their first year under manager Erol Bulut.
As such, Bulut was handed a new two-year-deal in the summer as a show of faith in what he had been building, but things could not have gone much worse at the start of his second campaign.
Cardiff’s 1-0 defeat at Derby County on Saturday has seen pressure seriously mount on Bulut’s future already, with talkSPORT reporting his job is under serious threat.
