Leeds United have had a successful return to the Premier League in 2020-21. They are 10th in the league and could finish as high as eighth in the Premier League standings with a last day of the season win over West Brom.
Marcelo Bielsa’s team could do even better next season, but some issues will need to be sorted out. The team’s defence has allowed 53 goals which is the seventh-most in the division.
On Sunday, Leeds United will host West Brom at Elland Road to close out the season.
West Brom are already relegated and will play in the Championship next season. Manager Sam Allardyce’s team are on a three-match losing streak going into the game.
West Brom have conceded the most goals in the league with 73 allowed in 37 matches.
The Baggies’ defence has allowed 1.97 goals per match. Meanwhile, they score an average of just 0.92 goals a game.
Leeds United and West Brom have a recent history of matches against each other in the Premier League and Championship. The Whites are unbeaten in four straight games against West Brom with two being draws and two victories.
Earlier this season, Leeds United claimed a smashing 5-0 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns. Ezgjan Alioski, Jack Harrison, Rodrigo, and Raphinha scored for Leeds United while West Brom’s Romaine Sawyers scored an own goal.
Leeds United are on a three-match winning streak in the league. They scored 10 goals while allowing just four to opponents over the last six matches.
Bielsa has four players on the injury list going into the game. Adam Forshaw is ruled out due to a muscle injury. Helder Costa is also ruled out after suffering a lower back injury.
Mateusz Klich has an unspecified issue and won’t play. Centre-back Robin Koch won’t play after leaving the club early to meet up with the German national team for the Euro 2020 tournament.
Allardyce is without two players for the game as defender Branislav Ivanovic is ruled out of the game and midfielder Robert Snodgrass will not play a part in the fixture.
Leeds United have been excellent against West Brom in recent seasons. They should claim a second straight league win at home versus West Brom.
Like the previous match, the game should end with over 2.5 goals scored. However, don’t expect Leeds United to thrash the Baggies 5-0.
