Leeds United v Fulham | Sunday 23rd October 2022 | 2pm | Elland Road | #LEEFUL

The opposition

  • Leeds began the season in sparkling form, taking seven points from their opening three matches as they bookended a draw in Southampton with home victories over Wolverhampton Wanderers and Chelsea.
  • Wins have eluded them since, though. Aside from home draws with Everton and Aston Villa, Jesse Marsch’s men have lost all their matches since that victory over Chelsea in August.
  • A lack of goals has been a particular issue of late, with a consolation against Crystal Palace the only time they’ve found the back of the net in their last four outings.
