Leeds: Fans react to defensive stats reveal ahead of Luton clash
The Sky Bet Championship action returns this evening as Fulham host QPR as the second-tier gears up for the run-in towards the Christmas period.
The games are set to come thick and fast for sides in the second-tier now that the final international break of the calendar year is over and there are bound to be a few freak results along the way.
Leeds United will be hoping to avoid one this weekend, then, as they travel to an out-of-form Luton Town side that’s looking to stay away from the bottom three.
The Whites, on paper, should win this game but the Hatters are capable of causing an upset – particularly at home – with them beating Bristol City with ease there not too long ago.
Defensively, though, Leeds can have confidence in keeping Luton out, whilst the Hatters have issues of their own at the back:
Leeds have conceded the fewest goals from open play in the top four tiers of English football this season (4). Luton have conceded the joint-most goals from open play (25) in the Championship along with Stoke City. #LUFC #MOT pic.twitter.com/U5feIg3IRk
