Leeds United took another step towards Premier League safety on Friday as goals from Jayden Bogle, Noah Okafor and Dominic Calvert-Lewin handed them a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest. Daniel Farke’s side broke the deadlock on 26 minutes and dominated from that point onwards, roared on by an incredible home support.
The Whites have now won all five night games at Elland Road this season and regularly blown opposition teams away. And according to Opta, no Premier League side has leaned more heavily on their home form, with a whopping 76 per cent Leeds’ total points coming in front of their own fans.
With six home games to go, three of which are against current bottom-seven clubs, Leeds could pull themselves to safety based on their Elland Road performances alone. Below, the YEP takes a look at how many points Farke’s side have racked up in front of their own, compared to the rest of the Premier League.
