Despite an opening league win over Everton back in August – since then the Leeds United form has been patchy, including two recent thrashings against Brighton and Nottingham Forest.
Which has led the best football betting sites to slash the Premier League sack race betting odds on Leeds boss Daniel Farke to 4/5.
Making him the clear favourite to be the next English top-flight manager to be given his marching orders and potentially the fifth this season in the Premier League.
Leeds United Sack Race Update: Farke Supported – But Four Tough Games Await
Since their recent 3-1 away defeat to Forest, Leeds boss Daniel Farke has seemingly received the ‘dreaded’ backing and ‘vote of confidence’ from the club.
However, we’ve been here before – right?
And as a lot of football fans know – this means diddly-squat.
Yes, there is a bit of breathing space for Farke with the International break coming at the right time for the German.
With the next Leeds United fixture not until Sunday 23rd November at home to Aston Villa – but you feel another defeat here and Farke could be out in the dark.
If they do, however, get something from the Villa game – if could only be a short reprieve, as next up for Leeds is an away trip to Manchester City at the end of November.
Oh, and they’ve then got to face Chelsea and Liverpool – both at home.
So, maybe with still two thirds of the season left and Leeds still out of the relegation places (just) – the right call is to relieve Farke of his duties NOW.
Especially with the busy Christmas period also just around the corner.
Leeds United Next Fixtures
- Man City vs LEEDS (Sun, 29th Nov 2025)
- LEEDS vs Chelsea (Weds, 3rd Dec 2025)
- LEEDS vs Liverpool (Sat, 6th Dec 2025)
- Brentford vs LEEDS (Sun, 14th Dec 2025)
Should Leeds Sack Farke Now To Give Them A Better Chance Of Survival?
Leeds United will head into the International break having played 11 league games, but have only recorded three wins (2 draws) and lost six.
This has resulted in the Whites sitting 16th in the table and are just two places off the relegation places.
However, you feel that with 18th placed West Ham on the up, then if things are left unchanged at Leeds it won’t be long before they are being leapfrogged by the Hammers and others.
Add to that the added pressure of FOUR tough games on the horizon – against Villa, City, Chelsea and Liverpool.
Which is why some Leeds fans, who are also pushing some of the blame on their owners that also have an interest in SPL side Rangers.
Suggesting they are more focused on the Scottish side than Leeds.
So, what are the plusses of getting a new Leeds manager now?
They would, of course, have more games to save Leeds from relegation – with still 27 matches to play and a massive 81 points on offer.
A new Leeds manager now would also have a month to bed-in before the hectic Christmas period, plus then also get a better idea of any weaknesses – ready for the January transfer window.
But all this is easier said than done, and any new manager coming into an already struggling side that can’t buy anyone, also comes with many pitfalls.
What are the dangers of Leeds getting a new manager now?
It’s really based on two things.
Firstly, as mentioned, the upcoming Leeds fixtures are nothing short of horrendous.
Villa, City, Chelsea and Liverpool – so, any new Leeds manager will have this on their mind too and would most-likely be hard to win the fans over with three or four instant defeats.
Then secondly, the new manager will have inherited a squad that he can’t do a lot with or add to.
Yes, of course, he can change tactics and who actually plays – but they’d also be stuck with this squad for another two months until the January transfer window opens.
Which is a run of SEVEN more games.
These are all conundrums both the Leeds board and any potential new coach will have swirling around their heads.
Do Leeds stick or twist?
And with millions at stake for staying in the Premier League it’s a decision that could make or break their season.

Which is backed up with Rodgers featuring in most of these lists at the moment – including being 10/1 in the next Newcastle managers betting odds index.
Next best is Gary O’Neil at 5/1 and Liam Rosenior, who is currently impressing at Strasbourg, at 13/2.
When Did Daniel Farke Join Leeds?
Daniel Farke joined Leeds United from German side Borussia Mönchengladbach in July 2023.
But English football fans will also know Farke from his time at Norwich City.
Farke was in charge of the Canaries between 2017 and 2021 and led Norwich to the Championship title in 2019.
You never know, with his former club also struggling and sacking Liam Manning recently – could Farke go back.
He’s around 16/1 in the next Norwich manager betting odds market
Football, as they say is, a ‘funny old game’ – so don’t rule it out.
