Leeds United take on AC Milan in their final pre-season friendly in Dublin.
Leeds are set for their biggest test yet when they face AC Milan on Saturday, with it being the final chance for Farke to iron out any issues ahead of the new campaign.
Daniel Farke’s side will host Everton just nine days later, and the German will be keen to have his squad at full capacity for the season ahead.

It has been a mixed pre-season for the Whites so far, who could only muster up a draw at home to Villarreal on their last outing.
Joel Piroe was on the scoresheet again for Leeds, who are yet to bring in a new striker this summer despite it being a priority.
However, the Whites have beaten SC Verl and Paderborn so far this summer, and will be looking to end their schedule with a win against the Serie A giants.
As for Milan, a 9-0 demolition of Perth Glory was their last fixture, not long after they achieved a 4-2 win against the reigning Premier League champions Liverpool.
They will face Chelsea just 24 hours after this clash, before they return to competitive action.
