The famous Elland Road atmosphere has been in full swing following Leeds United’s return to the Premier League - and the importance the Whites iconic home could play in the battle against relegation can no be underestimated.
The opening night of the new season proved to be memorable as the home faithful witnessed a hard earned win against Everton that came thanks to a late penalty from summer signing Lukas Nmecha. Despite suffering away defeats at Arsenal and Fulham, a home draw with Champions League bound Newcastle United ensured Daniel Farke’s men remain unbeaten on their own patch after the first month of the season.
The future of Elland Road has been the subject of intense speculation in recent years and development plans have taken a step forwards since the end of last season after plans were submitted for an expansion that would take the capacity to around 53,000.
As news is awaited over the next step in those plans, we take a look back at how Elland Road has looked down the years as some Whites heroes of the past and present have shone in front of a fan base known to be one of the most passionate in world football.
