Leeds United’s second season back in the Premier League hasn’t been the smoothest of rides.
Whereas Marcelo Bielsa’s side took the top flight by storm with their unique brand of relentless attacking play last term, they have been hamstrung by injury and absences this time around, and find themselves hovering a little closer to the relegation zone than they might have expected back in August.
At the time of writing, the Whites are 15th, seven points clear of danger, and while that may be a decent cushion, one poor run of form could be enough to drag them back down the table.
