A look at what Leeds United fans should be looking out for on EFL fixture release day on Wednesday.
Fixture release day is almost upon us, with Leeds United preparing to learn the order in which they will play their 23 Championship rivals next season. Daniel Farke’s men go into the new season as promotion favourites having narrowly missed out on automatic and play-off promotion last season.
The Whites will be hoping for a start to the season that allows them to build momentum after getting off to a slow start last time around, something that may have cost them automatic promotion, meanwhile, there are plenty of other things to look out for on Wednesday when the fixtures are released at 9am. Here we take a look at what to look out for.
Fans will always be drawn to the first game of the season when the fixture list is announced, but it’s not just the first game of the season that will attract attention. There will also be plenty of interest in the first home game and first away game, as well as the last home and away games. It will also be interesting to see the kind of run-in Leeds face to see whether any promotion hopes are likely to be tested down the stretch.
Festive fixtures
There is also lots of interest in the festive fixtures, with the EFL going full steam ahead through Christmas and New Year. Leeds fans will be keen to see who their team will play on Boxing Day, in the game between Boxing Day and the end of the year and, of course, who they get on New Year’s day. Those fixtures are not only fun for fans, but they can also have a big say on each team’s season.
