With the transfer window now over, Leeds United are back in Premier League action. Daniel Farke’s men have had an incredible start to the new season.
They managed to record two wins in their first two games; both coming against Oliver Glasner at Nottingham Forest.
And last weekend they managed to hold Brentford to a draw. That result was very impressive considering that Keith Andrews’ side had beaten their opponents by nine goals, but only managed one against Leeds.
Farke’s side managed to add two more players to round up their spending on deadline day.
Melvin Bard comes in to provide solid depth at left back and left centre back, and Jean-Matteo Bohoya arrives as a much needed upgrade on the flanks.

Leeds United are away to Brighton this weekend, marking the club’s third away trip in four games.
But there will be confidence as the team have won their last two games on the road. The last time both teams met ended in a late win as Dominic Calvert-Lewin netted in the final home game of last season.
But Opta Analyst’s predictor thinks Saturday’s result will be much different.
They have given Brighton a 50.4% chance of winning this weekend, with Leeds only having a 24.5% chance.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side won their first league game in emphatic fashion, beating Aston Villa 4-0. And they were unlucky not to get anything against Chelsea last weekend despite mounting a comeback.
These sides’ last two meetings at the AmEx stadium have resulted in wins for Brighton, so that will be something Daniel Farke’s men should take note of.

Daniel Farke’s side can cause an upset
Despite being given a slim chance by Opta’s Supercomputer, Leeds should have a higher chance of a win than 24.5%.
The Whites just managed to hold one of the best performing teams this season to a draw at home. Brentford had scored three or more goals in their games before they met Farke’s side.
And they only managed to score one.
Leeds are a very stubborn side and on their day, can frustrate many teams. They have only lost one away game in the Premier League since January, which is credit to Farke’s coaching.
On Saturday, Leeds have to approach the game like they always do and hope they can put their chances away to get a result.
