Leeds United’s stay in the English Premier League could be over by weekend’s end, but Weston McKennie, Brenden Aaronson and Co. will do anything they can to keep the dream alive.
Sam Allardyce’s squad visit West Ham United on Sunday needing three points to truly avoid relegation by weekend’s end. Leeds United has failed to win any of its last seven league matches, losing five of them and conceding 19 goals over those defeats. McKennie has continued in the heart of the Leeds United midfield in Tyler Adams’ absence, but even he will need to lay it all on the line for the Lilywhites.
Brenden Aaronson could also be called on by Allardyce, especially with Leeds’ backs against the wall. Aaronson has scored one goal and added three assists in 34 appearances this Premier League season, but has mainly been a second-half substitute throughout 2023.
Elsewhere in England, Christian Pulisic and Chelsea face off with Manchester City. Antonee Robinson and Fulham host Crystal Palace in a London Derby.
In Spain, Yunus Musah and Valencia host Real Madrid in La Liga play.
In France, Tim Weah and Lille take on Marseille.
Elsewhere, Bryan Reynolds and Marlon Fossey square off in Belgian Pro League action. Johnny Cardoso and Internacional visit Gremio in Brazilian Serie A play. Christian Cappis and Brondby visit Viborg in Denmark. Haji Wright and Antalyaspor host Istanbul Basaksehir in Super Lig play.
