Leeds United’s steadily impressive start to the season continued on Sunday thanks to their 1-1 draw at home to Manchester United. Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s 51st-minute finish cancelled out a Bryan Mbeumo opener at Elland Road with a point enough to leave the Whites in seventh.
Daniel Farke’s side have drawn four of their seven league games so far and will hope to turn a couple of tight games into victories before the upcoming international break. Leeds are away from home on consecutive weekends but against two beatable teams in Sunderland and Bournemouth.
As has been the case so far, Leeds’ immediate fixture schedule is neither extremely difficult nor very encouraging on paper, but they’ll be confident of taking points at every opportunity. Below, the YEP takes a look at how the next few weeks will pan out for the Whites and their key rivals.
