Leeds United climbed into the automatic promotion places after beating Plymouth Argyle 3-0 on Saturday, with results elsewhere allowing them to stay there. The game at Elland Road was over by half-time thanks to goals from Dan James, Joel Piroe and Brenden Aaronson, allowing Daniel Farke to ring the changes and rest some key players.
With Sunderland and Burnley both dropping points, Leeds can look back on a weekend in which plenty went their way and a run of favourable fixtures provides plenty of promise for momentum to build. Farke has already faced all of the current top six and heads to seventh-placed Millwall on Wednesday, with some very winnable games to follow.
But how does Leeds’ short-term schedule look when compared to their promotion rivals? Well, the YEP has looked at what the top 10 have to look forward to, calculating the average current position of the opposition - and it is good reading for those of a Whites persuasion.
