Four of Leeds' final 6 fixtures are against teams with a negative expected goal difference per game. Leeds are 11th in the xGD/90 table suggesting they should be around midtable.
Recent form has turned their season around with the club sitting 6th in the form table after three wins, five draws and only one loss in the last 9 games.
#LUFC have 6 wins in the league this season and 7 draws. It is very likely only around 4 more wins would see them avoid relegation - perhaps not even that.
But should they replicate their current points per game (1.14) they would finish on 43 points - easily enough. But where are those points coming from?
If you were targeting fixtures to get those 4 wins you might look at home games versus: Forest, Sunderland, Brentford, Wolves, Burnley and Brighton.
The possible away wins could start with Everton in a week, as well as Palace who seem in disarray, Bournemouth, Spurs and a trip to West Ham - the final game of the season - though they will hope to secure safety earlier than that.
But Leeds may not even need to target those 'easier on paper' fixtures, because the impressive thing about their recent form - is how difficult their fixtures were - going unbeaten against Liverpool home and away, beating Chelsea and getting a point against Manchester United.
They have already strengthened in January and are looking at opportunities to add more. Daniel Farke has opposition managers second-guessing him and he has found ways to get the best out of the players he has.
The squad has show it has depth too, with James Justin and others coming off the bench and impressing.
With the shovels set to go in the ground in May this year, #LUFC are in a great place and seem to be united from ownership, to coaching staff, players and fans.
All they have to do is finish the job this season and they can build in the summer both in the squad and in the ground, to establish themselves in the midtable of the Premier League before setting their sights higher in the next years.
@MrPitbull07 This story reminds me of my Nanna. In the early 60’s she looked after an Indian baby, for a year whilst his father could work . Being Northern Irish in England pushing an Asian baby in a pram, she received all the looks and comments. All that mattered was love and care.
Great to see @BritishGas over charging my elderly, widowed, mother in law and then refusing to allow her to set up an instalment plan. I pay less for gas and I live off grid! #ripoffbritain#pensioner#con
Taking my 4 year old to school this morning, I asked what song he would like to listen too. Expecting something along the lines of baby shark, he replied ‘SLIDE AWAY’, what a lad! me and the wife have taught him well. #oasis#LiamGallagher#NoelGallagher#Slideaway
@InternetH0F Take the lass out of Leeds and all that 🤣. Still kept her accent too! fair play after years of living in the states for years. Like when people keep down to earth
@LUFCMOTcom Football brings back so many memories, like music and film. This game reminds me of my late father so much, in specifically I remember him saying that they didn’t celebrate their Goal much because there was no point #mot
Anyone else think that there’s no point in voting? Every party is led by someone I wouldn’t feel comfortable lending £20 too, when they get into power they blame everything on Damage done by the previous party. The never ending loop continues. #LabourParty#Conservative#politics
Whatever happens tonight it’s great to have Will Ferrell investing in @LUFC he can warn off the vultures chasing Summerville and Georgino this summer. #alaw#leedsunited#lufc@Will___Ferrell
Anyone else hate international football when it’s not a major tournament? So boring and the international break has really messed up our flow this season. #LeedsUnited#alaw
