Leeds United and Daniel Farke are back in the upper crust of the English footballing landscape after securing their return to the Premier League.
In the hopes of re-establishing their top-flight credentials under the German boss once more, Leeds fans will be hoping for a handful of memorable results to aid in their quest to avoid an immediate slide back down the ladder.
One fixture of the newly released match schedule already jumps off the page for many, as the club hosts rivals Manchester United at Elland Road on 3 January; a date that carries significance among the fans.
The last time these two sides met on that date, Leeds booked a memorable 1-0 FA Cup third round upset win over the Red Devils thanks to a lone strike from Jermaine Beckford during the 2009/10 season.
Despite United fielding a side that included Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Danny Welbeck, and Gary Neville, with substitute appearances from Ryan Giggs, Michael Owen, and Antonio Valencia, Sir Alex Ferguson's men could not overcome Beckford's 19th-minute finish after getting on the end of Neil Kilkenny's long-ball.
Can Farke's men emulate that result when the time comes?
