Leeds are back on track for promotion and have well and truly put to bed their disastrous run of form which allowed Fulham and Brentford to close the gap.Saturday’s 2-0 win over Huddersfield takes their winning run to five matches, while the Whites have also kept a clean sheet in each one of those matches.According to Twitter account LUFCDATA, Leeds have now kept a clean sheet in 46% of their matches this season, which equates to an average of 0.81 goals per game, with 30 goals conceded in 37 league games.Marcelo Bielsa has clearly got things exactly right when it comes to the defence. His capture of Ben White has proved an inspired choice to improve that area of the squad compared to last term, as these fans’ agree with that view.
Many fans are, perhaps unsurprisingly, quite blown away with the stat and how good their side have been defensively this season, as it has proved to be the foundation for their success.

What’s more, it is also a good long-term sign for life in the Premier League should they win promotion this year, as although White’s loan will come to an end they will stll have Bielsa’s organisation and Kalvin Phillips possibly still adding protection in midfield.
Other fans have reacted to the stat in a different way, by bringing up the fact that Neil Warnock previously stated that the West Yorkshire outfit don’t keep enough clean sheets, and have ridiculed him as a result.
