Leeds United has started the current Premier League season on a positive note, accumulating four points from their first three games. The team’s recent 0-0 draw against Newcastle showcased the growing stability under manager Marcelo Bielsa, a welcome improvement from the previous season where they faced criticism for their defensive vulnerabilities.
The victory over Everton and the subsequent defensive performances have seen Leeds record two clean sheets already, coming close to the total of five clean sheets they achieved in the entire 2022/23 campaign. The positive atmosphere at the club has been noted, with Neil Warnock emphasizing the importance of the passionate home support at Elland Road in the team’s success this season.
Warnock also commended Leeds’ summer transfer business, expressing confidence in the team’s ability to avoid relegation. Despite some disappointments on the deadline day with failed transfers, Warnock believes that the current squad, bolstered by some good signings and young players gaining experience, has the potential to secure survival in the Premier League.
However, Warnock highlighted the need for Leeds’ attacking options to improve their goal-scoring form. With only one goal scored since returning to the top flight, including a penalty by Lucas Nmecha, the team will rely on players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin to find their scoring touch. Calvert-Lewin, who has struggled to make an impact so far, will be key in upcoming fixtures against Wolves, Burnley, and West Ham, where Leeds will look to capitalize on a favorable run of games to secure crucial points.
The support from the fans and the performance of the attacking players will play a significant role in determining Leeds’ success in the upcoming matches and the remainder of the season.
