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.
