Leeds United manager Daniel Farke could see the scrutiny over his position further intensify after Opta delivered their prediction for the game against Chelsea. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite an improved performance against Manchester City, reports have suggested that Daniel Farke could be sacked<\/a> as Leeds manager if they lose both games against Chelsea and Liverpool. <\/p>\n

Farke could elect to stick with the 5-3-2 formation<\/a> that served his side so well in the second half against City, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin<\/a> came off the bench to spark his side into life. <\/p>\n

Leeds have a poor recent track record against Chelsea, having won just once in the Premier League<\/a> against the Blues since 2003, in a worrying omen for Farke. <\/p>\n

Now, Opta have predicted that Leeds will fall to another defeat on Wednesday night, which would only serve to ramp up the pressure on the under-fire Leeds boss<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Farke has several tough selection decisions to make, with Dan James ruled out of the fixture<\/a> through injury and Justin James suffering a knock<\/a> against Man City. <\/p>\n

However, according to Opta<\/a>, there is little that Farke can do to prevent the pressure on his position building further, with Chelsea made overwhelming favourites for the game. <\/p>\n
