Leeds United are struggling at these early stages of the season and have so far not won a league game. They will be at home to take on newly promoted Watford, who are also seeking a return to winning ways. Leeds go into this game placed 18th with three points from six matches, while Watford have seven points and are placed 12th. Leeds’ only wins (2) this season have come in the League Cup, and one of them was on post match penalties. In their last match, they lost 2-1 at home to West Ham United and they go here with just one clean sheet in their last five matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches and in the Premier League, Leeds United have no clean sheet this season, with losses in the six matches. Defensively, they haven’t had much to write home about; the team has conceded two or more goals in four of the six in the league, though they’ve failed to score in just one. At home, they have two straight losses in the league, and have conceded in each of the last five league games at Elland Road.

Watford are back in the top flight and have so far given a good account, staying out of the drop zone. They go to this game with one win in the last five matches and have managed just one clean sheet in their eight matches so far. Watford have failed to score in three of their eight matches and both teams have scored in their last three matches. They have conceded two or more goals in four of their last eight matches and in the league, they have two wins in the six played this season. In their last away league game, Watford thumped Norwich 3-1, but they have two losses in their three away matches in the league. While they have a good run over Leeds, Watford haven’t really enjoyed their away matches in the league. They have nine losses in 11 away league matches but are unbeaten in five matches against Leeds, winning four. This is the first meeting between the two sides since 2016.
