Leeds United suffered a late 1-0 defeat to Fulham at Craven Cottage, courtesy of Gabriel Gudmundsson’s bizarre own goal. This result has increased Leeds’ relegation likelihood from 40.64% to 45.64%, according to Opta’s supercomputer predictions. Despite accumulating four points in four games, the same as an average of one point per game, Leeds are still considered the most likely to avoid relegation among the three newly-promoted teams ¹.
Current Standings:
- Leeds United: 4 points in 4 games, 12th in the Premier League table
- Sunderland: 7 points in 4 games
- Burnley: 3 points in 3 games, with a game in hand against Liverpool
Leeds’ Struggles:
The team’s main issue is scoring goals from open play, with only one goal scored in the Premier League campaign so far. Manager Daniel Farke needs to address this concern to change the team’s fortunes. Potential reinforcements in the January transfer window might provide the necessary boost, but it’s uncertain whether it will be too late ¹ ².
Upcoming Matches:
- Leeds United will host Wolves on Saturday, while Fulham will face Brentford in a London derby ³.
