Much had been made of Leeds United’s summer recruitment plans as Daniel Farke’s squad was bolstered by the arrival of several powerful additions in preparation for the return to the Premier League.

With a tough looking trip to Brighton and Hove Albion lying in wait this weekend, we take a look at the latest Premier League fair play table.
