Leeds United’s “best in the league” remark made by Daniel Farke could backfire against Sheffield United tonight.

Leeds United’s “best in the league” remark made by Daniel Farke could backfire against Sheffield United tonight.

The Whites have one of the finest teams in the Championship this year, and their current season-to-date underlying metrics indicate they will finish at the top of the table once again.

Their next opponent is Sheffield United, led by Chris Wilder, who also hopes to win the league crown in May.

Illan Meslier dubbed best goalkeeper in the Championship by Leeds boss Daniel Farke

Daniel Farke won’t have been happy at all when Illan Meslier fumbled Leeds’ virtually certain three points away at Sunderland last time out, letting a questionable bounce catch him out and gift the hosts an equaliser that looked very unlikely

The German boss, however, may still be adamant that the Frenchman is the greatest goalie in the league. He made this statement regarding Meslier after his mistake against Portsmouth on matchday one (via LeedsLive):

He’s the best keeper in this league, in my opinion, and I’ve talked about it. You only need to consider the incredible saves made throughout the previous season.

Given the amount of talent in the division, that’s a bold claim regardless of performance in the Championship at any position, but it might already be paying off.
