“It’s much more valuable to talk game to game,” he said. “The margin for error is so thin, the line is so thin between success and failure. “I believe we have that in us and that’s the goal, to never stop.”

Jesse Marsch has commented on the possibility of Leeds United adding a new striker to their ranks in the remaining days of the window.

It remains to be seen whether Leeds will add any new players to their ranks in the coming days with the window set to slam shut on 1st September. Whites boss Marsch has revealed that his side are in contact with several clubs to see if there are players with flexibility in their contracts that could be made available for transfer. “We’re waiting and communicating with clubs to see if there’s flexibility in players’ contracts.”

Leeds United do not find themselves alone in the pursuit of Wolves star Hwang Hee-chan this summer.

The South Korean made 30 appearances for Wolves last time out and scored five goals and has continued to be a vital presence to start this season. Hwang joined Wolves permanently earlier in the window, having played on loan the previous campaign, and it remains to be seen if they agree to sell him in the same summer. Leeds have identified Hwang as a target, the South Korean star having impressed for Wolves last term

Leeds United boss Jesse Marsch revealed that he challenged Cody Drameh to stay at the club and fight for his place this season.

“The key for him is not to need the enjoyment and to need the drive to be the best he can possibly be, challenge himself at a high level and I think he’s done that in a big way. The Whites manager is of the opinion that the 20-year-old needs to challenge himself to be the best he can and admits that the player has done exactly so far in this season. Marsch revealed that at the end of the 2021/22 season he challenged Drameh to stay at Leeds and fight for his position.

Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha shared a reunion on the pitch at Camp Nou on Wednesday following the mid-season friendly between Barcelona and Manchester City.

[Raphinha](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/raphinha) started the game, with the former playing around 55 minutes before going off with a shoulder injury, and the latter getting 75 minutes of action. Raphinha posted a photo on Instagram with him alongside both Phillips and his international teammate, captioning it: “Good to see you my brothers.” [Phillips](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/kalvin-phillips) made the switch to Man City before he was required to return to pre-season training, while Raphinha did not return to Thorp Arch until much later than everyone else due to speculation. Frenkie de Jong then put the hosts in front for a brief period as Cole Palmer brought it back to 2-2. It was the first time the two players will have seen each other since the end of last season, when both played key roles in helping [Leeds](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/) narrowly avoid relegation. The two clubs organised the one-off match in order to raise money for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), an incurable neurodegenerative disease.

Leeds have seemingly been given the go ahead to sign Hwang Hee-chan, with the Wolves striker seemingly keen on a move and his asking price emerging.

To that end, Leeds continue to be linked with a number of potential striker signings. And it’s reported that the 26-year-old is also keen to link up with Marsch again, having worked with him at RB Salzburg and Red Bull Leipzig. If an opportunity arises they have the funds and the will to take it. But they’ll be vigilant and active right to the end of the window. They have two wins and a draw to their name – with Sunday’s 3-0 trouncing of Chelsea their best display since Jesse Marsch took charge. Indeed, Brenden Aaronson and Tyler Adams have quickly made their mark on the side following summer arrivals.

[Ayling](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/luke-ayling) has been missing since the end of last season after undergoing surgery on a knee issue and consequently missing the entirety of pre-season, while Firpo picked up an injury in the friendly win over Blackpool and hasn’t been seen since.

[Leeds United](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/) midfielder Mateusz Klich has been named in the Carabao Cup team of the week for his performance in the 3-1 over Barnsley.

Paul Merson has predicted that Leeds United will suffer their first defeat of the Premier League season when they will face Brighton & Hove Albion.

“This should be a good Premier League game,” he said. Leeds had a great beginning to their campaign where they registered seven points from first three games. The Whites have been having a great start to their campaign where they are still unbeaten and have already registered seven points from the first three matches.

Leeds United's assistant manager Rene Maric believes that Mateusz Klich provides a certain personality to the Whites squad.

“I thought he did exceptionally well, the way he defends and supports our build-up. “He came on against Wolves and Southampton. “He’s one of these guys that gives a team of personality in every training and in these games, and we trust him.

The Amazon All or Nothing series on Arsenal's 2021-22 season began this month, and it's helping to emphasize a couple of key points that we sometimes ...

They are still among the Champions League favorites, and this is still likely to be a very successful season overall. We know they can rally because they did it just last season -- they were 14 points behind City and charged back to within one (while winning two domestic cups and reaching the Champions League final). The Reds fell behind in each of their first three matches and managed to rally only for draws against Fulham and Palace and a 2-1 loss to United. Whenever they secure their first point or score their first goal of the season, they will be the last team in the league to do so. FiveThirtyEight projected them fourth in the league at the start and gave them a 44% chance of qualifying for the Champions League; just three matches in, they're now projected to finish eighth and have just a 22% chance. Better yet, they are led by manager Gerardo Seoane, whose ideas for a combination of possession play and counter-attacking opportunities made the club one of the most interesting and exciting in the league last season. They transformed their midfield with the additions of Tyler Adams (from RB Leipzig) and Marc Roca (Bayern), and they transformed their attack by adding Brenden Aaronson (Salzburg) and getting Patrick Bamford back from a long-term injury. And in just two matches they've gone from having a 41% chance of Champions League qualification and an 8% chance of winning the league to 56% and 12%, respectively. They are generating only 117 touches per game in the attacking third (14th in the league) but are allowing opponents only 99 such touches (third), and when they show up in the penalty area, it's with intent. PSG slogged away to an easy league title, but bowed out to Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16, and it looked like they would lose Mbappe to Real Madrid as well. They're nearly doubling up opponents in terms of shot attempts, and they're averaging 0.12 xG per shot (fourth in the league) while allowing 0.09 (seventh). A recap for anyone who needs it: Arsenal began last season in the poorest imaginable form, dropping matches to Brentford, Chelsea and Manchester City by a combined 9-0, and finding themselves at the bottom of the Premier League table heading into the first international break.

Leeds United's assistant coach Rene Maric believes Elland Road's atmosphere is one of the best he has ever experienced.

“Even if we were maybe not able to outplay the opponent, if we outrun and outfight, they always support us and that’s one thing that I really enjoy. “If you’re outrunning and outfighting the opponent, they will excuse a few mistakes, they will support the team no matter what if you fulfil these things, and that’s what we want to do. “What I really like about the atmosphere are the feeling that in the stadium the fans are very honest”, Maric was

[Cody Drameh](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/cody-drameh) is reportedly among three players Leeds United would be ‘willing’ to let go before the end of the window. We will definitely not sell him in the summer.” Hasenhuttl has insisted he will ‘definitely’ not be sold. Jesse Marsch does also have Rasmus Kristensen and Luke Ayling as options in his position, though. Reports emerged on Wednesday that Hwang is an option for Leeds in the final week of the window if they decide to strengthen their attacking options. The South Korea international also had a brief spell with him at RB Leipzig.

Here are our four talking points from Leeds United's 3-1 win over Barnsley at Elland Road in the Carabao Cup as Luis Sinisterra and Mateusz Klich strike.

There were halves banked for Koch and Struijk, while Roca, who has played fewer minutes than most of the regulars in the opening matches, also ticked off half an hour on the field. Marc Roca and Tyler Adams have made excellent starts to the season, while neither Forshaw nor Greenwood took control of the game as they would have liked last night. Therefore, the back-ups need to take opportunities like Wednesday with both hands and catch the eye. Clearly, results like Sunday’s are not about to precipitate a host of changes in the first-choice starting line-up. Drameh looked the better of the two. It’s hard to ask for much more than the game’s best moment of quality and a turn of speed which yielded a penalty. The skipper was not stressed or stretched by the League One attack, showed a decent turn of pace where needed and even some well-judged, risky passes across his own backline. Robin Koch and Diego Llorente are currently wearing the first-team shirts and look well-placed to retain those berths on Sunday’s evidence. The 30-year-old was considered a close call for Sunday’s Chelsea win, but missed out which meant last night looked like an ideal opportunity to ease him back in. “He's a great presence in the locker room. Bursts off the bench against Southampton and Chelsea yielded a debut and minutes, but the Elland Road faithful had been kept waiting to see what Raphinha’s replacement was all about. Assistant head coach Rene Maric would later hit the nail on the head: “He's a great player, he's a great guy.

Drameh made his first appearance of the season on Wednesday night against Barnsley.

I think he's fully a part of our team in our club and he has a big future here.” I think he knows he wants to play games and that's important for him but we also value having him here. “I think over time he's enjoyed being here and I think in there he has played good football and I think with him, they kind of go hand in hand. I think he's fit well within the team. It was really good that he got games, that he was playing well and I watched not every game but I got highlights of most of his games and I watched a lot of his actions. “I think he's performed well within the team.

Leeds United and Barnsley played their parts in a brawl which broke out at Elland Road on Wednesday night during their Carabao Cup clash.

Marcelo Bielsa’s desire for absolute respect of match officials and their authority put a cap on too much getting out of hand since Mateusz Klich’s Aston Villa goal in April 2019. “To be fair, they all stood up for each other, but didn't cross the line. No punches were thrown, nothing stupid was done in the process. Brawls have not been too frequent for Leeds United in recent years, but Jesse Marsch backed his players for their parts in the bust-up with Barnsley on Wednesday. I thought that was great.” It's really important everybody has each other's back.

Brighton & Hove Albion will host Leeds United at the AMEX Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the fourth gameweek of the 2022-23 Premier League campaign.

Brighton have picked up seven points from a maximum of nine and sit fifth in the league standings. They then played out a 2-2 draw against Southampton before picking up an impressive 3-0 victory over Chelsea at Elland Road last weekend. The Seagulls are on a run of back-to-back victories and have lost just one of their last 12 Premier League games. - Leeds have made their best start to a top-flight campaign since their return to the Premier League in 2020. They then played out a goalless draw against - The Whites have failed to score in five of their last seven games in this fixture.

Leeds head to Brighton on Saturday sitting third in the table after last week's eye-catching win against Chelsea, but head coach Marsch is staying grounded.

"It's always the case, but obviously when you have one of the best teams in the league, you can dream about titles. "The margin for error is so thin, the line is so thin between success and failure. "I believe we have that in us and that's the goal, to never stop."

Whether or not Cody Drameh goes out on loan in the next week, he has re-established a 'big future' for himself at Leeds United.

I think he's fit well within the team." I think he's performed well within the team. "I think over time he's enjoyed being here and I think in there he has played good football and I think with him, they kind of go hand in hand. I think he's done that in a big way." "I challenged him to think about challenging himself to be here. I think he had a very good experience at Cardiff and in his mind, maybe wanted to stay there.
