Updates from 4.30pm kick-off (BST) at London Stadium Survival or silverware? Farke faces dilemma at Leeds As Leeds travel to West Ham for an FA Cup quarter-final both teams could arguably do without , one thing is not in doubt: Daniel Farke knows how to read a balance sheet.
As the holder of an MA in economics and a diploma in sporting directorship, the Leeds manager needs no reminders that, financially, avoiding relegation is infinitely more important than trying to win the FA Cup. “The Premier League’s our bread and butter,” he said on Thursday .
