Leeds – Statistics & Current Form

West Yorkshire peacock fans have had to be brave these past few years. The former top club went through difficult times and was at times only third-rate. But after 16 years the long-awaited return to the Premier League finally succeeded. Despite great ambitions, the primary goal is to assert oneself in the league and put the relegation battle aside as early as possible.

Spectacular return on Anfield Road

After 16 years of waiting, Leeds had to – or was allowed to – make the journey to become reigning champions. The blatant underdog did not value destructive football but wanted to do his part to make the game a true football festival. This project succeeded in any case, although the defeat with 3: 4 (three Salah hits) was extremely bitter.

Leeds’ first appearance in the Premier League was the best advertisement for football and showed that the team of tactical fox Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t have to hide from anyone. The efficiency was outstanding because all three shots on goal were successful.

In the promotion year 2019/20, only 31 percent of the shots on goal were a hit – this meant the fourth-lowest value in the Championship. However, these figures clearly show that Leeds is a team that keeps coming up with scoring opportunities. Games with many goals will be played more often in 2020/21.

The first home game lost only once in twelve Premier League years

A Saturday afternoon defeat would mean that Leeds would start with two defeats for the first time since the 1980/81 season in the English House of Lords. A home defeat at the start of a Premier League season is a real rarity. In the twelve previous Premier League seasons, Leeds only went bankrupt in 1996 against Sheffield in their stadium, otherwise, they have eight wins and three draws on the credit side.

Probable formation of Leeds:
➤ Meslier – Dallas, Strujik, Koch, Ayling – Phillips – Costa, Hernandez, Klich, Harrison – Bamford

Fulham – Statistics & Current Form

It is not uncommon to see that a Premier League relegated team has big problems in the championship and has to fight again to stay in the league. The cottagers of young coach Scott Parker (former professional) did not have any major problems with the changeover and underpinned their ambitions for a direct return from the start. In the play-off final against Brentford – a London city derby – Fulham succeeded in the extension of promotion.

Continuity with targeted reinforcements

In the horror season 2018/19 (only seven wins), a transfer minus of over 100 million euros was earned, but there was still the desolation to cope with. It seems that the club’s management learned from the mistakes they made back then and did not try to form a completely new team during this transfer period. The Cottagers continue to count on the majority of the rise heroes and have not had to deal with a single significant departure.

Newcomers were not completely waived, but the previous commitments make sense and represent a selective reinforcement (Areola, Reed, Tete, Aina) in the fight to remain in the league.

15 defeats in the last 19 Premier League games

The Cottagers started the league against city rivals Arsenal and suffered a 3-0 defeat – the 15th defeat in the last 19 Premier League games. Although the Parker acted at eye level at times, the difference in quality could be seen in the decisive moments.

The team gained self-confidence during the week when Fulham defeated second division Ipswich Town 1-0 in the Carabao Cup.

Probable formation of Fulham:
➤ Rodak – Bryan, Ream, Hector, Odoi – Reed, Cairney – Cavaleiro, Onomah, Kebano – Mitrovic
