Not a Leeds fan but they are only 4 points behind Newcastle and I don't see people calling for Eddie Howe to be sacked. Some perspective needed surely!

Sunderland
Sunderland manager Regis le Bris confirmed there are no injury concerns before Saturday's game against Bournemouth, which "is a good sign".
He did, however, confirm there will be natural squad rotation to deal with a three-game week.
"I have had this conversation with the players," he said. "Consistency is key to develop a new squad so it is normal to keep the same starting XI, but now with many games in a row, organically it will happen.
"I think they are training well so they will be ready for these fixtures."

Slot won the League last season, the players could’ve downed tools then if they didn’t like him, but they didn’t. L’pool have spent a fortune & need to embed those players. It’s not even Christmas. Fans not happy cos they’re not used to losing. Got to give him time.
Lloyd, Northamptonshire
I think Liverpool should stick with Slot. We have let players and managers in the past walk alone, which is not in our DNA. I believe it's only a blip and he can turn it around. Slot should stay till at least the end of the season and then reassess.

Nottingham Forest v Brighton (Sun, 14:05 GMT)
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler on team news: "All the players who were available last weekend are still available."
Hurzeler added that James Milner and Karou Mitoma are "getting close" to a return, and he is confident both will be back before Christmas.
Nottingham Forest v Brighton (Sun, 14:05 GMT)
Image source, Getty ImagesFirst up on today's news conference front we had Fabian Hurzeler who was speaking about summer transfer rumours potentially impacting the form of Carlos Baleba: "We are now four months into the season, we can't speak about these rumours anymore. It's about being a Brighton player, it's about performing here and getting him back to his best level.
"Avoid the noise, avoid all the rumours, and focus on things you can influence and the things you do best. That's football."

I think when looking at the odds for next Leeds manager if Farke is sacked anytime soon. I’d say the sensible decision would be to bring in Brendan Rodgers. A lot will disagree here but he’s a proven premier league manager. I’d be the ideal candidate for the job.

You've heard from Daniel Farke now but feel free to keep sending in your messages with regard to his future as Leeds United boss.
Six more to come your way including two others that have already happened!
We'll get to them as soon as we can.

Daniel Farke is still talking but we're very much aware of the time and the fact we have six other news conferences to cram in.
You can head to our Leeds United habit page for further updates from the Leeds boss a little later on.
We've got loads more reaction from Liverpool to come too and a load of your texts to get through.
Here's quick note with all the other news conferences to come your way, though...
Man City v Leeds (Sat 15:00 GMT)
Leeds United
Leeds manager Daniel Farke on how this week will define his career: "Not at all. I'm not focused on myself and outside noise. I quite like that outside noise is on the manager and not the players. I'm just fully focused on the team."

It is ridiculous the short space of time a manager gets nowadays. If they are on a contract the duration of it should be honoured. I know it's all about results but some of the managers don't even get any time to bring in their own signings.
John, Glasgow
Some managers aren't given time to impose their style at a club. Some aren't allowed time to bring in players or even have a say what players come into a club. Just told that they are to use them. So clubs need to access what they want.

Man City v Leeds (Sat, 15:00 GMT)
Leeds United
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke on dropping into the relegation zone: "We are fully concentrated. We were full prepared for such a situation that this would happen.
"There is always outside noise even after our best season in history last season. We full expected this would happen this season.
"The goal at the start of the season was to finish 17th or above. To finish 17th would be a great success because no other team in the last promoted sides has had the chance to stay in this league.
"I didn't expect it to be an easy ride."

Stick with Farke. Give him the whole season. Promising signs are there Keep the Faith MOT.

Man City v Leeds (Sat, 15:00 GMT)
Leeds United
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke on availability for the game against Man City: "Overall, many players are training. Anton Stach will definitely miss the Man City game due to the concussion protocol. If everything works, he will be allowed to return to training Sunday.
"Sadly, Sean Longstaff will miss the game, he is out with a calf injury. He is expected to be out 4-6 weeks, so we will miss him for a while. It's of course not ideal.
"Sebastien Bornauw is a doubt, he has some MCL problems. He missed training yesterday and today, it will be a late call about his availability."

Farke should've gone after the abysmal play off final. How the board and any fans thought he could succeed this season is beyond me. Poor manager, with an horrendous premier league record.

I'm a Liverpool fan. My husband and son are Leeds fans. They've never been enamored with Farke and want him gone. I think Slot deserves more time. I am interested in how we will fare when Salah goes to Afcon as he's been off form for a while now.

Man City v Leeds (Sat, 15:00 GMT)
Leeds United
Daniel Farke has arrived for his news conference and has begun by delivering some tough team news.
Midfielder Sean Longstaff will be out for around four to six weeks with a calf injury he picked up in the 2-1 defeat by Aston Villa.
We'll bring you full quotes from his news conference, along with any chatter about his future, once we get it...
Man City v Leeds (Sat, 15:00 GMT)
Leeds United
Image source, Getty ImagesAfter a promising start to the season taking seven points from their first five games, Leeds' form has taken a big dip in recent weeks.
They've lost four of their last five league games, their only points coming in a 2-1 home win over West Ham.
If any Leeds fans were hoping for an easier run of fixtures to help turn their season around, they'd be bitterly disappointed looking at the clubs next three fixtures.
Daniel Farke's side have Man City away, Chelsea at home, followed by Liverpool at home in their next three outings.
Currently sitting 18th and inside the relegation zone, three defeats in those games would put the club in a very difficult spot heading into a busy festive period of football - but is Farke the man to get this side out of trouble?
Click 'Get Involved' to have your say
Let's just be clear why Leeds are in the mess they are. Sure, a lot of it is to do with Farke's selection and in-game management but the recruitment in the summer simply wasn't good enough. That's on the board
Greg
Farke replacement may well get us fitter and better defensively. However quality up front and lack of goals will be our down fall. Fear as always with relegation how it will impact the club financially. Pick up some points prior to Christmas and good January transfers only hope.
Jim
Unfortunately Daniel Farke's time is nearly up, he has no proven track record in the Premier League.

Man City v Leeds (Sat, 15:00 GMT)

Image source, Getty ImagesLeeds defender Gabriel Gudmundsson speaking to BBC Radio Leeds on their difficult run of form: "We are all behind everyone in the club. We are working to come through.
"We know we have a plan each game to play with, and it's football; things happen. We need to adapt to certain games depending on which team you're playing and their qualities. We have to accept sometimes that we are losing, and when we are winning, we are winning.
"When we are playing at home, we feel very good - I think everyone can see that as well. But when we are playing away, we need to step up. The performances are there, but we just need to make sure we get the points.
"It's such a good group of players. We are so close to each other and want to help each other all the time. We are not focusing on [poor results] too much. We know we have a big game ahead, and we are going to help each other.
"It's only November and nothing is going to be decided here. We are all sticking together and working hard. We know what we can do, we have a good group - and we will figure this out."
