Opposition
The Whites have started to improve under new manager Daniel Farke after a tumultuous summer transfer season at Elland Road, which saw several departures as Leeds United tried to rebuild after being demoted from the Premier League.
Leeds defeated Millwall by three goals last weekend to record a memorable triumph after only losing once all season, a 1-0 loss to Birmingham City in the second game of the season. This was followed by a scoreless draw against Hull City in the middle of the week.
