Leeds' xG Conceded (xGC) in the second tier this year is particularly impressive, especially compared with the likes of promotion rivals Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton - all of whom boast impressive xGC tallies themselves.
The Whites have conceded just three goals in their last 12 league matches, all coming from set-pieces, meaning they are one of, if not the best, teams when it comes to defending from open play.
Here is a breakdown of every Championship team's xGC in 2023/24 and why Leeds' performance in particular could spell good news for the club's title hopes.
1. Rotherham United - 70.53 xGC
The Millers sit rock bottom of the Championship and it's no wonder - they've conceded the most xG in the second tier this season. They're headed back to League One by the looks of it. | Getty Images
2. Plymouth Argyle - 65.65 xGC
Argyle have conceded the second-most in the way of xG this season, but their ability to create chances and score goals means they aren't in as much trouble as Rotherham. | Getty Images
3. Swansea City - 60.51 xGC
Next on the list is relegation-threatened Swansea, who weren't exactly watertight when Leeds visited the Liberty Stadium last month. | Getty Images

5. Huddersfield Town - 58.13 xGC
The Terriers may have frustrated Leeds earlier this month, but they've not made a good job of doing so against too many other opponents. | Getty Images
6. Blackburn Rovers - 58.10 xGC
Rovers have slipped down the standings since the early portion of the season, largely due to their open style of play and porous defence. | Getty Images
