Leeds-Live med fakta rundt de fire kommende seriekampene.
Av disse virker Southampton mest 'farlig'. Deres høye press kan gjøre at vi mister ballen tidlig med alt det medfører. Og Southampton uten seier så langt men har altså tatt poeng mot begge lagene fra Manchester...
Og vi blir nok uten Raphael den kampen
Mht Leicesterkampen, ja, de er ikke i form nå men det er ennå lenge til den kampen spilles...
Southampton (A) - Saturday October 16First up after the international break, the Whites travel to St Mary's to face Southampton.
Bielsa's side managed to beat the south coast team on both occasions last season, scoring five times in the process and conceding none. However, both games were fairly even up until the moment where Leeds took the lead, before they accelerated away.
This season, Southampton come into the game with no league wins on the board and having lost their last two. They did put on two strong performances to take a point against both Manchester sides but they have struggled to score goals, scoring only five so far.
With that in mind, Leeds will hope to be able to win this one and begin to put a run together
but they will need to watch out for Southampton's high-press, which could cause the problems in passing out from the back. In the game at Elland Road last season, Leeds negated this by going more direct in the second half and looking for Raphinha at every opportunity.
They may not have the option to play Raphinha in this game, due to the final Brazil game of the international break taking place in the early hours of the morning of the day before. Should the Brazilian be unavailable, Leeds will likely look to use Daniel James and Jack Harrison to exploit the high-line of Southampton.
Wolves (H) - Saturday October 23Following the Southampton game, the Whites host Wolves at Elland Road the week after.
Wolves were a very tough opponent for Leeds last season as they won home and away against Bielsa's side. Both games ended 1-0 as Leeds struggled to break down a tough defence and were punished by two deflected long-range strikes.
This season, Wolves are managed by Bruno Lage who has adopted a more attacking style. According to football stats website fbref, the underlying numbers have been strong as their expected goal difference at this stage is the eighth best in the division. However, results haven't matched that as they find themselves 12th. This suggests that although the attacking might be better, the side just aren't clinical enough at the moment.
They picked up consecutive victories in the last two games, beating Newcastle and Southampton and finally appear to have discovered their goalscoring touch, as they added three goals to the two they managed in the five games previous.
Despite their improved attacking numbers this season, Leeds might feel that a changed Wolves side suits them better and will hope to right the wrongs of last season's performances against the midlands side. A draw here wouldn't be too disappointing but they will certainly see this as a chance to pick up another win.
Norwich (A) - Sunday October 31This game is one that Leeds will definitely see as one they should be winning.
Norwich have picked up where they left off last time they were relegated from the Premier League by picking up only one point from their opening seven games.
Within this run, they have only scored two goals and conceded 16 as Daniel Farke's side have badly struggled.
Should Leeds fail to win this one they would certainly see it as a big opportunity missed.
Leicester (A) - Sunday November 7In recent seasons, Leicester have been the biggest challengers to the top four and have only narrowly missed out on the Champions League in the last two seasons.
The games between Leeds and Leicester last season saw the away side win on each occasion, as Brendan Rodgers' side won 4-1 at Elland Road before Leeds hit back to win 3-1 at the King Power Stadium in one of their best performances of the season.
This season, Leicester look a shell of their former selves and sit in 13th place in the Premier League, having won two, drawn two and lost three. Their underlying numbers reflect this, as the expected goal difference puts them in 13th as well.
This shows that they haven't simply been missing chances or losing to freak goals. The position they are in is reflective of the way they've been playing. As such, Leeds should see this as an opportunity to take points from the King Power once again.
