Leeds United intent clear in six-word message as Carabao Cup push set out | OneFootball

Leeds United have opened their second season back in the Premier League unbeaten after three games and travel to Chelsea tonight targeting Carabao Cup progress, with Daniel Farke signalling intent.

According to Leeds Live, consolidation remains the priority for Farke and the 49ers board, yet ambition sits alongside it after last season’s FA Cup semi-final defeat by Chelsea.

Leeds already have one League Cup win and now seek the fourth round for the first time under Farke. Asked about the competition, he said: "We are trying to win it", and described it as the quickest route to Europe and some glory.

Farke added that the Premier League still comes first and accepted Leeds are not favourites. He said they would head to London to progress and that they must be at their best.

Talk of second-season syndrome persists and Leeds are widely viewed as likelier bottom-half than top-half finishers. The head coach’s tone, however, reflected belief that a cup run is within reach if standards are met.
