Karl Darlow replaces Illan Meslier as Leeds United starts against Luton

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke has announced that goalkeeper Karl Darlow will start in place of Illan Meslier for the upcoming Championship match against Luton Town. This decision follows a series of high-profile mistakes by Meslier, including a costly error in last week's draw against Swansea City. Farke emphasized the importance of consistency in the goalkeeper position, stating that while outfield players can be rotated after a few poor performances, goalkeepers require stability. He acknowledged Meslier's struggles this season and expressed the need to protect him from further pressure. Darlow, who has been in good form recently with the Wales national team, is viewed as a trustworthy option by Farke. Leeds currently sit second in the league, aiming for promotion back to the Premier League.
