Luke Humphries will be hoping that his darting rival Luke Littler is off the mark as the pair delivered their predictions for the Premier League clash between Brentford and Leeds United.
To paraphrase the late, great Sid Waddell, Leeds United pulled off one of the greatest comebacks since Lazarus, when they escaped from Elland Road with a point against Liverpool.
Now, Daniel Farke is looking for his side to keep the momentum going when they step up to the oche to face Brentford in the Premier League.
Famous Leeds fan Luke Humphries will be taking part in the biggest event in the Darts calendar just across London, as the World Darts Championship kicks off at the famous Alexandra Palace.
He will be hoping that he can get one over on his rival, Luke Littler, with his prediction for the Brentford-Leeds clash, and in the World Darts Championship, after the pair delivered their verdict on this weekend’s game.
Daniel Farke’s job is safe for now, can he get a result against Brentford? 🔮
Luke Humphries backs Leeds United to pick up win over Brentford
Speaking to the Premier League website, Humphries and Littler, a Manchester United fan, delivered their verdict on the outcome of the game.
To use another Waddell-ism, Humphries predicted that Farke would be as happy as a hound-dog that’s won a year’s supply of Boneo, as he backed Leeds to pick up a win.
Humphries said: “I’m going to have to go confident and I’m going to say 2-1 Leeds because I feel like they’re going to have to win that game to stay up.”
However, Littler believes Leeds have about as much chance of stopping Brentford as if they were trying to stop a water buffalo with a pea-shooter (thanks again, Sid).
He said: “Brentford-Leeds, I’ll have to go with Brentford. I’ll say 3-0.”
Leeds United need to end Sunday blues against Brentford
Unfortunately for Farke, most of the omens are pointing to a home victory for Brentford, with their home form, Leeds’ away form, and the Whites’ recent terrible track record in London all taken into account.
In another quirk of history, Leeds could set another unwanted Premier League record against Brentford if they fall to a defeat.

Raphinha secured his position as a Leeds legend in 2022 🙌
According to the BBC, Leeds have lost their last eight Premier League games played on a Sunday, conceding 24 goals in the process.
No Premier League team has ever lost nine consecutive Sunday games, which is just another reason why Farke will be desperate for his side to pick up three points this weekend.
