Leeds United have taken 11 points from their first nine Premier League matches and, even if they are beaten in game number 10 at Brighton on Saturday, recent history would suggest Daniel Farke's side will steer clear of relegation this season.

Stats cynics will rightly point out that surely there is a difference between just having 11 points after 10 games and having significantly more than that?
But if we look at exactly the position Leeds are in now, with 11 points after nine games, history still suggests they will stay up.
Leeds are the 11th promoted side to have 11 points after nine games. Eight of the previous 10 promoted sides in that position survived, including all of the past seven - a group which includes Leeds themselves in 2020-21.
The last time a promoted team was relegated after such a start was Manchester City in 2000-01, although Aston Villa did only survive on the final day of the 2019-20 campaign.
