Leeds United's next 6 fixtures compared to Premier League rivals as huge opportunity emerges

Leeds United enjoyed a steadily-impressive start to their Premier League campaign with four points from three games in August. Daniel Farke’s side were strong at home, beating Everton 1-0 before a goalless draw against Newcastle, and while a 5-0 thumping at Arsenal cannot be ignored, few would have turned down such a start.

The presence of two Champions League opponents last month makes it more encouraging and as the season’s first international break comes to a close, Leeds can look forward to a slightly easier fixture run - on paper, at least. Farke’s men aren’t back at Elland Road until the end of this month but might fancy their chances at picking up a point or two on the road.

And a favourable run of fixtures into October presents a real opportunity for Leeds to put a decent number of points on the board before things get tricky again through winter. Below, the YEP takes a look at what the next six gameweeks look like for Farke’s side and their Premier League rivals.
