Leeds United began their Premier League season with an encouraging 1-0 win over Everton at Elland Road on Monday evening.<\/strong><\/p>\n With Daniel Farke\u2019s<\/a> side travelling to Arsenal next, that result could become even more important as the campaign progresses.<\/p>\n Anton Stach showed his worth in his Leeds debut<\/a> and could prove to be a pivotal signing for the Yorkshire club.<\/p>\n Attention will soon turn to Sheffield Wednesday in the Carabao Cup<\/a>, but the Whites could play in front of a significantly reduced crowd at Hillsborough.<\/p>\n Leeds and Sunderland broke records in the Premier League<\/a> after their respective victories over Everton and West Ham.<\/p>\n It was the first time in Premier League<\/a> history that two of the promoted clubs have won their opening fixture while keeping a clean sheet.<\/p>\n Indeed, the Whites performed far better than their opponents, and there is a genuine belief that they can stay up this season, bucking the recent trends.<\/p>\n After Leeds face the Gunners, they will play Sheffield Wednesday in the second round of the Carabao Cup, a huge Yorkshire derby.<\/p>\n Leeds\u2019 upcoming fixtures<\/p>\n However, the stadium could look empty as the Sheffield Wednesday Supporters\u2019 Trust<\/a> has urged fellow fans not to purchase tickets as of 15 August.<\/p>\n This is in line with the protests against the ongoing ownership issues the South Yorkshire club are enduring with Dejphon Chansiri.<\/p>\n Rather than buying tickets for the cup clash, the Trust has encouraged supporters to donate the money to charity instead.<\/p>\n \u201cOur reasoning is clear; every ticket sold puts further money into the hands of an owner who has shown nothing but contempt for the fanbase and disregard for the long-term future of our club,\u201d a statement read on 20 August.<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong> Leeds United make Kalvin Phillips decision as Manchester City exit on cards<\/a><\/p>\n A run to the latter stages of a domestic cup is something that the Elland Road faithful would surely relish.<\/p>\n It has been almost 30 years since the Whites reached a cup final, when they were defeated 3-0 by Aston Villa in what was called the Coca-Cola Cup.<\/p>\n![\"Anton](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Anton-Stach-1-1024x576.jpg\")
