More from the cup fever #factfiles!
I'm often praising Leeds for the long run without having a player sent off, there's also a decent run of that in the #FACup - 16 ties without a red card, the last being Saiz at Newport in 2018.
9 in history - only 2 at #EllandRoad being goalkeepers! #lufc
Another Championship opponent awaits in the #FACup and here's the MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds United v Norwich City at #EllandRoad.
Beware, the Canaries are flying (not sorry!). The Whites need a big response to two frustrating defeats.

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds at Everton.
We head to the Hill Dickinson Stadium for the first time; a welcome change of venue after just 1 win in 16 at Goodison Park, failing to score in 11 of them!
Can Daniel Farke clock his 19th Home & Away 'league double' at United?!

A return to BlueSky for the MATCHDAY #factfiles - here for Leeds v Fulham!
Confidence good in the United camp but beware the Londoners who have had a great spell (unbeaten in 6, although last 3 been at home). Both teams know where the net is, expect goals at #EllandRoad!

Couple of years doing these #factfiles on the other account and I wasn't sure I could share this particular one with the adoring public... 🤪
But it's MATCHDAY for the United of Leeds against them lot - and there's so much history between us, how could I not!

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds at Sunderland.
Two of the promoted clubs meeting again, both perhaps doing better than some hoped or expected. Despite the obvious 🤯 over 50 years ago, United boss the historic head-to-head & have done okay at the Stadium of Light!
Form: #lufc LWDDW #safc WDLWd
Leeds back on course in the 'head-to-head' against Crystal Palace & a 5th team we could now achieve home & away league doubles over this season!
Table updated - not much to change on the #factfiles but United should have had a penalty, almost an own goal or 2, & close to a hat-trick! #lufc
MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds hosting Crystal Palace. The last time the Eagles came to #EllandRoad it was the start of United's final freefall back to the Championship after a mini revival under Gracia had given hope. But different times - and better now?!

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v Liverpool - and what a history we had before they jumped on the gravy train (& United missed it!).

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds v Chelsea at #EllandRoad!
Another slide one dig at the modern day chasm between old rivals. Things did not end as bad as most had predicted at Citeh, so could United go better and gain a point or even 3 against the 'World Chumpions'?! 😅

MATCHDAY #factfiles for Leeds United at Manchester City. See slide one for some intended words of wisdom!
The Whites lead on clean sheets 29-28 yet the Blues have more league doubles, 7-10.
Worried? It's 3rd at home to 18th. But it's football, it's a funny old game! 🙏

16th placed North End have lost half of their 20 league away games this season with only 3 wins on the road but the #factfiles show that United should remain wary of an often tough opponent! Our last red card, 74 games ago at Deepdale!
