Leeds United lived up their ‘hard to beat’ tag following Sunday’s 0-0 draw at a windy Sunderland. Daniel Farke’s side lacked attacking thrust but, as has so often been the case this season, defended well to keep a clean sheet and ensure they left the Stadium of Light with a point.
That point kept the Whites in seventh place in the Premier League, level with a trio of clubs on 11 points from eight matches. It’s been a steadily impressive start from Leeds who have taken points off decent sides but also failed to capitalise on a couple of good opportunities for recent victories.
Leeds have two more games before the November international break and a couple of good opportunities to win at Elland Road either side of the two-week club football hiatus. Below, the YEP takes a look at their next five fixtures to see how they compare to Premier League rivals.
