"Shearer's confidence is bolstered by a significant mid-season turnaround orchestrated by manager Daniel Farke. Following a difficult start that saw Leeds lingering in the drop zone, Farke abandoned his preferred 4-2-3-1 for a more robust 3-5-2 (or 5-3-2 out of possession) formation. The tactical shift has paid dividends, providing defensive stability while maximising the aerial threat of striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the creativity of midfielder Anton Stach."
"The statistics back up Shearer's assessment. Leeds have turned Elland Road into a fortress, picking up the majority of their points on home soil.

Leeds United rely on a strong home record at Elland Road and a tactical shift to a 3-5-2 (5-3-2 out of possession) for survival in the Premier League. Manager Daniel Farke replaced a 4-2-3-1 with a system that has improved defensive stability while exploiting Dominic Calvert-Lewin's aerial presence and Anton Stach's creativity. The team has become harder to beat and more dangerous on the break. Recent home results—four wins, two draws and one loss in seven matches, scoring 15 and conceding 10—have pulled Leeds away from immediate danger.
