• Preston have won just one of their past 12 away league games against Leeds since 1963 (D4 L7).

• Leeds have scored 80 goals in the Championship this season, just one short of their competition record (since 2004-05) of 81 in 2010-11 and 2023-24. They last scored more than 81 in a league campaign in 1969-70 (84).
