Leeds United face Crystal Palace on Monday evening eyeing a big three points – meaning they can’t afford to be wasteful in front of goal.

Ahead of the clash between the pair at Elland Road, we’ve calculated the Whites and their top-flight rivals’ current shots-per-goal ratio.

This comes courtesy of data from Wyscout, which has allowed us to work out how many shots it takes Marcelo Bielsa’s men on average before they find the back of the net.

We divided the number of shots each club has registered in the league by the number of goals they have scored so far this season.

And it’s safe to say – it’s fairly encouraging viewing for Leeds United:
