"Leeds United sit 15th in the Premier League after seven matches of the new campaign with two wins and eight points - a reasonable showing that over the course of 38 games would see them surpass the once-heralded 40-point mark synonymous with survival. It has been a competitive season so far with all 20 teams already suffering at least one defeat and there has been plenty of discussion, too, about the performance of newly-promoted sides Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland."
"Last weekend, the Whites were narrowly beaten by Tottenham Hotspur at Elland Road - their first home league defeat in over 12 months. Spurs' ruthlessness and verticality in attack, along with a helping hand via two deflected goals, made the difference, but in truth the contest was an even affair. And that has been the case for all of Leeds' performances this season, aside from the 5-0 defeat by Arsenal."
Leeds sit 15th after seven Premier League matches with two wins and eight points; that pace projected over 38 games would top the 40-point survival mark. The season has been competitive, with all 20 teams suffering at least one defeat and newly-promoted sides drawing attention; Sunderland have surged to ninth with 11 points. Leeds have matched stronger opponents, narrowly losing at home to Tottenham and suffering a heavy 5-0 defeat at Arsenal. Leeds recovered to beat Wolves away and beat Everton in the opener. Conceded stoppage-time goals cost three points, Gudmundsson's own-goal and a late Kroupi equaliser robbed further points, and goals were scarce early on.
