From the source

Leeds United have made a solid start to the 2026/27 Premier League season, collecting 11 points from eight matches. Daniel Farke’s side have won twice, drawn five times and lost once, while recent results include a 4-1 victory over Newcastle and a goalless draw against Sunderland.

Their defensive organisation has helped them reach seventh place, but turning more draws into wins will require consistency across the pitch, including reliable attacking options.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has taken the leading role up front, scoring three league goals since his summer arrival. However, his previous hamstring problems give Farke reason to protect his options, particularly with Joel Piroe spending the season on loan at West Ham United.
