Leeds United sits in third place in the Premier League following two wins and two draws after four matches. The team has not lost any of its initial games this season, a feat they last achieved in the 1995-96, 1998-99, and 2001-02 seasons. Last season, Leeds finished in 14th place, marking a notable improvement in performance. Elland Road has emerged as a strong venue for Leeds, with their last defeat occurring in early March. Player Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been instrumental, ranking among the top home goalscorers since the previous season. Leeds might draw inspiration from Sunderland's seventh-place finish last year as they consider their potential ambitions this term.
- •Leeds has two wins and two draws in their first four Premier League matches.

- •Only four seasons in the Premier League era have seen Leeds avoid defeat in their first four games.

"Two wins and two draws have taken Leeds up to third in the Premier League after four games, with only Manchester City and Arsenal having more points. After securing safety on their return to the top flight last season with a 14th-place finish, this is a start Leeds fans would have dreamed of. In fact, only in 1995-96, 1998-99, 2001-02, and now 2026-27 have Leeds avoided defeat in each of their first four in the competition in the Premier League era.
