The team from Elland Road returned from the Championship on their second attempt under Farke’s management. So far, they are moving steadily towards their goal of keeping their spot in the Premier League, picking up points in most matches, especially during the winter, and occasionally winning. They also managed to defeat Derby County 3-1 in the cup. After a 1-0 win over Fulham, they shared points with Everton.
After three runner-up finishes, Arteta is clearly aiming for the title. The team is also doing well in the Champions League and in cup competitions (this month they won the first leg of the League Cup semi-final away). Most importantly, they have been leading the Premier League confidently throughout the campaign. However, in recent rounds, they drew with Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, and even lost to Manchester United.
The Premier League newcomer is showing decent statistics: 1.35 goals scored per match versus 1.65 conceded. The top favorite, meanwhile, is not only strong in attack (averaging 1.83 goals), but also very solid in defense (0.74 goals conceded per match).
