Sky Sports pundit Andy Hinchcliffe believes Leeds could go unbeaten at Elland Road all season in what would be a historic achievement for the Whites. He said: "They [Leeds] are dominating home and away and I expect them to go unbeaten at Elland Road.
“The balance of their performances is superb with Gray and Ampadu going into the back four from midfield, and Gruev and Kamara into central midfield. The team actually looks better balanced now than it was previously so everything looks right for Leeds. Of course, Daniel Farke has experience of getting teams promoted and knows about the pressure at the top of the table, their form and position in the league is well deserved.”
