Elland Road has been Leeds United’s 12th man this season, but match-going fans will already know about how loud the ground can be.

The Whites look good value to remain in the Premier League now, with the Whites needing just one point to confirm survival if Tottenham lose to Aston Villa.

Manager Daniel Farke deserves praise for his boldness to change tactical ideas midway through a season when it was clearly not working.

The German was on the verge of being sacked, but supporters will clamour for him to remain more than for him to leave now.

However, those very same fans may deserve a similar level of credit as a new reveal about Elland Road and Leeds’ season has emerged.

Where is Elland Road statistically among the most impactful Premier League stadiums?

Leeds have a passionate fanbase, and the Whites can often be the epitome of the “12th man” football trope, as seen by Leeds blowing away Burnley.

The goal for this season was to remain in the Premier League, and the LS11 outfit have seemingly passed that quest with flying colours.

According to data collated by Renato Pestana, Leeds’ form on their home ground is actually the third best in the Premier League when it comes to their share of their points tally.

The Peacocks have earned 65 per cent of their 43 points total at home this season, which statistically arrives above the league average.

On average, teams in the Premier League should be expected to receive around 55.59 per cent of their final points accumulation on their home ground.

Only Fulham (65.8 per cent) and Wolves (71.8 per cent) have a higher share of their points at home.

Thanks to supporters in Elland Road, the ground has simply become a fortress and one that no team will want to come to.

If the Yorkshire side can keep it that way, they should have no concerns over relegation for the foreseeable future.

Leeds have addressed away-form concerns in recent weeks too

While Leeds are strong at home, they have often been poor away from Elland Road as well.

But, in the last few weeks, those issues have begun to be rectified. Farke’s side are unbeaten in their last six away games.

During that period, they have earned a total of eight points, making themselves difficult to beat and collecting plenty of draws.

That turnaround on the away front will be encouraging for the manager, who will hope to take both the home and away positives into next season.
