Leeds United found it pretty difficult to find a way past Crystal Palace on Sunday. The Whites were not able to play their normal game and will regret not getting a result.
At least Daniel Farke’s men go into the international break unbeaten in the Premier League.
The draw against Palace now means that Leeds gave gone through a schedule of Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Brighton and Newcastle United having won nine points from a possible 15.
The club sit in fifth place in the table going into the international break.
When the league resumes, they have a very difficult fixture as they will come up against Arsenal.

Their next game is why dropping points against Palace on Sunday was a huge blow.
Leeds United will be hoping they can get one over the league holders after Brighton beat the Gunners 3-0.
The match against Crystal Palace was a very difficult one, Farke’s side never really got going. And they messed up a lot of times on the ball; Tarik Muharemovic mentioned this after the game.
“It’s a hard-fought point. At the end of the day, we’re still unbeaten in the Premier League. It’s a very good thing. We take the point and go to the break unbeaten.” he told BBC Sport.
“Crystal Palace are a good team and we saw how good they can play. They were very compact in defence. Respect to them – they played really good. You saw two teams who fought for everything.
“The intensity was there but, with the ball, we know we can do much better.
“It’s amazing here. I love being here, with the players, my brothers.”

Sunday’s result was unfortunate
Picking up three points on Sunday would have done a lot for Leeds United.
After the international break, the Whites have a game against Arsenal. And facing the league holders is not an easy job, so Daniel Farke’s side should have gotten maximum points this weekend to ease the pressure.
Mikel Arteta’s side fell to a shock defeat to Brighton this weekend, which means the team will mull over the result going into the international break.
They will be motivated to beat Leeds when the league resumes in the next three weeks.
Sunday was a poor day for everyone involved and the club will hope the performance does not repeat itself later this season.
