- 111 fixtures completed since an outfield red card (26 months ago!);
- 61 at #EllandRoad (30 months ago!).

Records updated for the season; Leeds v Liverpool stats;
United's last ten starts in comparison;
and similar for other promoted #lufc campaigns.
That's 15 games, 15 points on the board.
Goals aplenty at both ends of late - we were even first on #MotD!

Pretty miserable for the boss and most of the players but there are still shades of that famous United win at Anfield 3 years ago!

As at 14 games, Daniel Farke's promoted Leeds are just one win behind Marcelo Bielsa's start to life in the Premier League which ended the season in the top half of the table.
The 2020 United sat in 14th place at this stage.

Daniel Farke records his very first win against Chelsea and a third victory over Enzo Maresca who has now lost all three of his matches against #lufc
As shown on the earlier MATCHDAY spotlights, Daniel Farke has yet to get one over on Chelsea but equally Enzo Maresca has not enjoyed his past clashes with Leeds!
A league double for United (under our German) in 2023/24's battle for promotion with wins at the Kind Power & #EllandRoad.

It's MATCHDAY - United's past results on 3rd December give superstitious hope for tonight, unbeaten at #EllandRoad #OnThisDay and Leeds have won the last 4 games played on this date overall!
Just an own goal to note but no hat-tricks, penalties or sending offs.
3-0 wins the most common #OTD. 🙏
