Last Meeting

The teams fought out a tense 1-1 draw at a rocking Elland Road on January 4, 2026. Leeds, riding a six-game unbeaten run under Daniel Farke, took the lead through Brenden Aaronson on 62 minutes when the American outpaced Ayden Heaven to beat Senne Lammens. However, the advantage lasted just 174 seconds as substitute Joshua Zirkzee played in Matheus Cunha to coolly level for Ruben Amorim's injury-hit United. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had earlier struck the post for Leeds, while Cunha hit the woodwork late on as both teams pushed for a winner. The draw extended Leeds' unbeaten run to seven games, while United missed a chance to apply pressure on the top four.

Leeds United 2025/26 Season

Leeds United returned to the Premier League after winning the Championship title with a stunning 100-point haul under Daniel Farke. The German manager, who won two Championship titles with Norwich City, oversaw a dominant campaign that saw Leeds seal promotion with two games to spare. Summer recruitment focused on Premier League-proven quality, with former Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin arriving alongside Slovenian centre-back Jaka Bijol from Udinese, midfielders Anton Stach and Sean Longstaff, and Swedish left-back Gabriel Gudmundsson. Farke's challenge is to break his own pattern of Championship success followed by Premier League struggles.

Matheus Cunha has been a shining light in attack, while the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko and Patrick Dorgu have provided fresh impetus. Manuel Ugarte anchors the midfield alongside the experienced Casemiro, though United have struggled to string together sustained winning runs in the league.
