Daniel Farke will be enraged after latest Premier League announcement on Leeds
Leeds United boss Daniel Farke does have much reason to be upset, but that may have changed.
Leeds are expected to avoid relegation after the 2-1 win over West Ham, so Farke should be pleased at the moment.
Leeds are six points above the drop zone after the Elland Road victory and will fancy their chances of staying in the division.
A new announcement from the Premier League may switch his positive mood to a negative one, though.
Leeds finally learn their festive period schedule
Leeds were still awaiting their fixture schedule for the festive period, but it has now been revealed.
However, Farke will surely be seething after learning how often his side will play in the very intense timeframe.
The Whites will play four times in 10 days, with three of those fixtures happening away from home, which puts them at a disadvantage.
The Peacocks visit Sunderland on 28 December, before travelling to Liverpool on 1 January, then they host Manchester United on 4 January and finish off with a trip to Newcastle on 7 January.
Premier League are a shambles after latest Leeds announcement
It is a shambles that it has taken this long to announce the fixtures for such a vital period.
Supporters can finally sort out time off work, travel, and potentially accommodation to attend the matches.
It may prove to be difficult for some, as the time around Christmas is the most expensive for travel and one of the hardest to get time off work.
It is also a hard period for Farke and his players, as the number of games over a short time leads to more fitness issues within the squad.
The fact that three of the four are away from home in close proximity certainly will not help the Whites, as they are at their best in front of their passionate and intimidating home crowd.
Fans are used to not being the priority when it comes to fixture scheduling, but Farke and Co. have also been done over by the latest update from the division.
