After clipping the wings of the Eagles in a draw, the Peacocks are back against the Sky Blues looking to land a huge blow to their Premier League title defense. Leeds United vs. Manchester City kicks off at 17:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 30, at Elland Road.
A goalless draw against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park left Leeds United five points above the bottom-three, while remaining unbeaten in five games, WWDWD. The Peacocks are in 16th place, having picked up 34 points from 8W, 10D, and 15L. Dramatic changes have been seen with the recent appointment of Jesse Marsch, who now has a 43%-win rate with Leeds after 7 games (3W, 2D, & 2L), following Marcelo Bielsa’s departure. With the chances of staying in the top-flight looking increasingly likely, Marsch appears to be on the verge of delivering the club’s sole objective of Premier League survival. However, after a failed stint at RB Leipzig earlier in the season, a section of the fans and onlookers remain unconvinced about Jesse Marsch’s brand of football. On Saturday, the 48-year-old American will look to take on a few more who remain on the fence by landing a huge blow on Manchester City’s Premier League title defense. A victory over the Sky Blues promises to be the biggest upset of the weekend, with second-placed Liverpool taking on Newcastle at lunch-time on Saturday. Although they remain winless against a reigning champion in their last six games in the Premier League [0W, 2D, & 4L] since 1999, Leeds have lost only two of their last nine home games against the Sky Blues [6W, 1D, & 2L]. A 4—2—3—1, with Daniel James at the top of the shape, is expected against Manchester City on Saturday.

Not yet immune to relegation, Leeds are looking to pick up back-to-back victories, LWWDW, and stay above the bottom three. The Peacocks are sitting five points above the troubled trio, consisting of Burnley, Watford, and Norwich City. Leeds have won their last two league games against Crystal Palace, though both have been at Elland Road, and now aim to complete their first league double over the Eagles since 1994-95. Adam Forshaw, Patrick Bamford, and Tyler Roberts are all sidelined with varying forms of injuries and will play no part in this Monday’s game when Jesse Marsch lines up the attacking-minded 4—2—3—1. Daniel James is expected to be at the top of the shape for this clash against the Eagles. Meanwhile, Junior Firpo’s availability remains in doubt.

Leeds United, on the other hand, picked up a 1-1 draw against Southampton last weekend. Just a minute shy of the half-hour mark, Jack Harrison (29') had the Whites in the lead. But a mesmerizing nifty-footed run from Kyle Walker-Peters saw him leave as many as six white shirts behind before he was brought down at the edge of the box. - And then James Ward-Prowse (49') pulled out another magical free-kick to see both sides level at Elland Road. The draw leaves the Peacocks in 16th place, having picked up 30 points from 7W, 9D, & 15L. Without defeat in three games, LLWWD, Leeds are looking to complete their first league double over Watford since the 1999/2000 edition of the Premier League season. Since making a return to the Premier League last season, Leeds United have picked up 22 points in eight Premier League episodes against recently-promoted sides such as Watford [7W, & 1D]. A 4—2—3—1 with Daniel James at the top of the shape is expected for Saturday’s clash against the Hornets. Meanwhile, Patrick Bamford remains sidelined with a knee injury alongside Tyler Roberts.
After a remarkable comeback win over Wolves right before the international break, the Peacocks take on the Saints, looking to pick up a win in a bid to put daylight between themselves and the bottom three. The Premier League clash between Leeds United and Southampton FC kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Saturday, April 2 at Elland Road.
In what appeared to be one of the most dramatic victories of the season, Leeds found their way back into the game against ten-man Wolves despite a two-goal deficit at the break on EPL Matchweek 30. The sensational 3-2 win at Molineux was inspired by a last-gasp effort from Luke Ayling (90'+1) in stoppage time and was aided in part by a Raúl Jiménez [R. 53'] red card. With back-to-back victories, LLLWW, Leeds are in 16th place, seven points above the bottom three, while having 29 points from 7W, 8D, and 15L. Revitalized ever since Jesse Marsch’s arrival, Leeds are looking more and more likely to beat the drop. The 48-year-old American has a 50%-win rate after four games [2W, 0D, & 2L] in the managerial seat, and a victory here could see Leeds move two spots ahead. Fifteenth-placed Brentford [30 points] have a difficult fixture against Chelsea on Saturday, while fourteenth-placed Newcastle United [31 points] take on Spurs. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Rodrigo in attack is expected from Jesse Marsch for this clash against Southampton. The hard-fought victory over Wolves came at a great price as Leeds lost Patrick Bamford in the 23rd minute to a knee injury after he landed flat-footed in an attempt to bring the ball under his spell. The 28-year-old is out for at least six weeks and is expected to make a return in mid-May. Kalvin Phillips, Liam Cooper, and Diego Llorente all returned to team training last week and will be available for this clash against Southampton.
The Premier League fixture, Wolverhampton Wanderers vs. Leeds United, kicks off at 21:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, March 18, at the Molineux Stadium.
After back-to-back defeats at the helm, Jesse Marsch picked up his first win at the club over the weekend, in Leeds’ 2-1 win against bottom-placed Norwich City in an explosive relegation battle. In what was a great game for Leeds, Rodrigo Moreno (14’) had the Peacocks in front inside the first fifteen minutes. Raphinha had struck the cross-bar with a fabulous effort before Leeds saw a goal rightly ruled out by the flag. The Whites had forced a number of saves from Tim Krul while failing to convert several clear-cut chances. Norwich had found their way back into the game in stoppage time through Kenny McLean (90'+1), but Leeds were having none of it. A remarkable solo run from Raphinha took him past one Norwich shirt before rounding Tim Krul in goal and placing the ball at the feet of Joe Gelhardt (90’+4). "They asked me before, will I remember this in two weeks? I said on my deathbed," Jesse Marsch said in the post-match interview following the 2-1 win. Leeds are now in 16th place with 26 points from 6W, 8D, & 15L. Having returned to winning ways after four consecutive defeats, LLLLW, Marsch is looking to see back-to-back victories for the first time in his reign at the helm. Although the Peacocks are winless in nine top-flight visits to the Molineux dating back to 1973. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Joe Gelhardt at the top of the shape is expected against Wolves. Kalvin Phillips, Tyler Roberts, and Liam Cooper are all ruled out of this weekend’s clash.
Following Thursday’s embarrassing defeat to the Lions, the Peacocks take on the Canaries in this weekend’s episode of another relegation battle. The Premier League fixture, Leeds United vs. Norwich City, kicks off at 15:00 (GMT+1) on Sunday, March 13, at Elland Road.
After back-to-back defeats at the helm following Thursday's 3-0 loss to Aston Villa, Jesse Marsch remains without a win since arriving at the club. The Peacocks were ripped to shreds, having been carved open by the sheer brilliance of Aston Villa’s attack. Philippe Coutinho (22’), Matty Cash (65’), and Calum Chambers (73’) all came up with spectacular goals against Leeds in front of their home fans. "The one thing that I can promise you is that I'm not afraid of the moment and the situation," Marsch said after the home debut defeat in the dugout at Goodison Park, which left the club with five defeats in a row: LLLLL. Leeds are in 16th place, having picked up 23 points after 5W, 8D, and 15L. Marsch aims to steer the club away from the rocky path of relegation, but with the defeats stacking up, a steady descent into the murky waters of the bottom-three remains inevitable. Leeds are just two points above the zone and are in desperate need of a win over the weekend. The Peacocks are looking to complete a league double over Norwich for the first time since 1980/81, following their victory in the reverse fixture. Patrick Bamford returned to action as a 58th-minute sub for the first time since the month of December, following an ankle injury. "I thought Patrick brought energy into the match," Marsch explained. "I think his personality is important because he's a confident guy. He doesn't suffer from fear, and we're going to need that." The 28-year-old is poised for a start in Leeds’ 4—2—3—1 formation on Sunday. Meanwhile, Junior Firpo, Tyler Roberts, and Kalvin Phillips are all ruled out of this weekend’s clash against Norwich.
Looking to bounce back following the weekend’s defeat to the Foxes, the Peacocks take on the Lions in this re-arranged fixture, originally slated for Matchday 20. Leeds United vs. Aston Villa FC kicks off at 20:45 (GMT+1) on Thursday, March 10, at Elland Road.
Following the weekend's 1-0 loss to Leicester City, Jesse Marsch became the seventh manager in eight to start off with a defeat at Leeds. A 67th-minute strike from Leicester City’s Harvey Barnes left the Peacocks with five consecutive defeats: LLLLL, at the end of Saturday’s clash at the King Power Stadium. "I have a fresh perspective," Marsch said in a post-match interview. "I look at the faces on the team and obviously they are disappointed because they know they have played well and deserved a result." He added. The club dropped a spot down the table, moving from 15th to 16th place, having failed to pick up a point on Matchday 28. Leeds are now sitting two spots above the bottom-three, with 23 points from 5W, 8D, & 14L. Marsch had spent only four days together with the group ahead of the clash against the Foxes, following Marcelo Bielsa’s axe, and is said to have changed a lot of the tactics. On Thursday, the 48-year-old American aims to see some progress in the shape of a draw at the minimum when he makes his second appearance at the dug-out, despite a dark patch of history. Leeds have lost the last three league home matches and are looking to avoid a fourth, which would see them equal their 2015 record in the Championship when they went four in a row between September and October. Furthermore, the club has lost their last three mid-week games, shipping a total of 16 goals across all three fixtures. Marsch would like to turn a blind eye to these numbers when he lays out the 4—2—3—1 with Daniel James in attack, hoping to pick up his first win.
Having traveled back in time to pick up a win over the Clarets in Tuesday’s re-arranged fixture, the Foxes take on the Peacocks, who aim to get their Premier League survival bid back on track after a change at the helm. Leicester City FC vs. Leeds United kicks off at 13:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, March 5, at the King Power Stadium.
Meanwhile, Leeds United are looking to breathe new life into their Premier League survival bid, having made changes at the helm. Marcelo Bielsa used the exit, while the former RB Leipzig coach [July–Dec. 2021], Jesse Marsch, slipped into the managerial seat. "#LUFC can today [Feb. 28] announce the appointment of Jesse Marsch as our new head coach," the club said in a statement. Marsch is looking to start on a flying note despite knowing that six out of the last seven managers to take charge of the club in the top-flight have lost their first match. In 16th place, the Peacocks are two points above the relegation zone with 23 points from 5W, 8D, and 13L, having lost four in a row: DLLLL. The 48-year-old American, Jesse Marsch, parted ways with the Red Bulls after a torrid run of form left the club mid-table in the German Bundesliga. At RB Leipzig, he frequently deployed the 4—2—3—1 formation and could be doing the same on Saturday, with Daniel James in attack.
Looking to pick up the pieces from Wednesday’s thrashing at the hands of the Reds, the Peacocks are back against Spurs in the 28th episode of their Premier League rivalry. Leeds United vs. Tottenham Hotspur kicks off at 13:30 (GMT+1) on Saturday, February 26, at Elland Road.
Spanked across every blade of grass in Wednesday’s game against Liverpool, Leeds United picked up a 6-0 defeat to the Reds at Anfield. A brace from Sadio Mane (80’ & 90’) and Salah (15’ P. & 35’ P.) coupled with goals from Matip (30') and Virgil van Dijk (90’+3) left the Peacocks reeling, dazed from a six-goal haul. "The distance between the two teams, we were never able to reduce them," Marcelo Bielsa said in his post-match interview after Wednesday’s embarrassing defeat. "Of course, we thought it would be difficult to play an even-keel game, but we wanted to prevent what ended up happening. A result like today, you can't explain it with the absences. We are fighting relegation and, of course, it worries me." The Leeds boss added. The Peacocks have suffered three defeats in a row ahead of this fixture against Spurs, LDLLL, and sit in 15th place with 23 points after 5W, 8D, and 12L. Bielsa went with the 4—1—4—1 formation against Liverpool but is expected to throw that in the bin after the six-goal thumping. A 4—2—3—1 formation with Rodrigo at the top of the shape is anticipated for Saturday’s game. Patrick Bamford and Kalvin Phillips are ruled out for the weekend and are expected back in early March for Leed’s game against Aston Villa [March 10].
After sweeping the Canaries aside over the weekend, the Reds make their return in this re-arranged Premier League fixture against the Peacocks, looking to close the gap on the league leaders, Manchester City. Liverpool F.C. vs. Leeds United F.C. kicks off at 20:45 (GMT+1) on Wednesday, February 23, at Anfield.
Despite clawing their way back from a two-goal deficit six minutes before the hour mark, Leeds United picked up a 4-2 defeat to Manchester United at home on Sunday. The Peacocks hit the back of the net twice within a minute after goals from Rodrigo (53’) and Raphinha (54’) restored parity at Elland Road. However, goals from United’s Fred (70’) and Anthony Elanga (88’) saw the Red Devils reclaim the lead, leaving Leeds with back-to-back defeats at full-time, WLDLL. In 15th place, Leeds has 23 points from 5W, 8D, & 11L. An unlikely win against Liverpool would see the Peacocks move a spot up the table on Wednesday. A 4—2—3—1 formation, with Rodrigo at the top of the shape, is expected for this fixture against the Reds. Patrick Bamford remains unavailable alongside Liam Cooper and Kalvin Phillip.
