Leeds United’s start to the season has been decent, but they are on an unbeaten run that has gone unnoticed. Their performances have been solid and competitive, and they have something of a record to protect when they host Bournemouth at Elland Road this weekend.
The Whites have looked competitive at the start of the Premier League, and barring a 5-0 defeat at Arsenal, they have looked solid and appear to be a team who are going to give a good game to anyone in the top flight, especially at Elland Road.
At Elland Road, Leeds have continued to look good. In the two home games they have played this season, the Yorkshire giants have four points – a win over Everton and a 0-0 draw against a top side such as Newcastle United.
Home form is going to be absolutely vital if Leeds have to survive in the Premier League, and they are set to host Bournemouth at Elland Road this weekend, with something to protect.
Leeds United’s unbeaten run at Elland Road has gone under the radar
Leeds have been strong at Elland Road under Daniel Farke over the last two seasons, but have looked competitive again in the Premier League.
However, the level of domination Leeds enjoy at home has gone unnoticed, even by some fans.
Farke’s side are on a stunning 22-game unbeaten run at Elland Road going into the game against Bournemouth on Saturday. It’s a staggering record that has continued in the Premier League.
Home form could make or break Leeds’ season, and they have started well at Elland Road with a win over an impressive Everton team and a draw against Newcastle.
Leeds hope to stretch that run to 24 before next month as they prepare to host the Cherries and Tottenham at Elland Road in back-to-back home league games.
Bournemouth’s last Elland Road visit was memorable for Leeds
Bournemouth’s last trip to Elland Road was in November 2022, a thrilling match that saw the Cherries take a 3-1 lead before losing 4-3 in a Premier League clash..
Rodrigo Moreno converted a penalty early in the game, but Marcus Tavernier quickly equalised for Bournemouth.
The Cherries then took the lead with goals from Philip Billing and Dominic Solanke. However, Leeds staged a remarkable comeback, scoring three goals in 24 minutes to win the game.
Bournemouth have never avoided defeat in their eight trips to Elland Road, seven in the league and one in the FA Cup.
