Daniel Farke at risk of matching unwanted Allan Clarke feat as Leeds' goal concern laid bare
Daniel Farke has seen his Leeds United side fail to score in their last three Premier League games at Elland Road.
The Whites' win away at Old Trafford provided a huge boost to their chances of survival, especially with Sunderland securing victory against Tottenham, but the job is still far from done.
Leeds return to action this weekend when they host a Wolves side with nothing left to play for at Elland Road.
A win for Farke's side could take them nine points clear of the drop zone, depending on how Spurs fare in their clash with Brighton.
However, if Leeds are to secure victory against Wolves, they must address an area of their game that has been lingering at Elland Road for several weeks.
Leeds edge closer to matching 1982 low
With 39 goals in 32 games, Leeds have hardly been free-flowing in the final third, though it's also not a record that should spark too much concern.
There remain five teams in the Premier League with fewer goals than the Whites, showcasing that they are where they want to be in that regard.
| Premier League | Leeds |
| Goals | 39 |
| Goals per game | 1.2 |
| xG | 45.6 |
| Shots on target per game | 3.9 |
However, goals have dried up recently, especially at Elland Road, with Leeds having failed to score in any of their last three Premier League encounters there.
That includes two goalless draws with Man City and Brentford, as well as the 1-0 defeat against Sunderland back at the start of March.
But if that goalless run were to continue into this weekend's clash against Wolves, it would be the first time since 1982 that the Whites have failed to score in four consecutive league games at home, which is when Allan Clarke was in charge.
And against a side already destined for relegation, it would certainly spark pessimism.
What can Leeds do to avoid repeat of Allan Clarke record?
Getting Dominic Calvert-Lewin back in form has to be the priority, with the Englishman having scored just one in his last nine Premier League games.
Throughout that run, the delivery into the penalty area has been poor, though some of the blame has to be with the striker himself, having missed a series of big chances.
With Anton Stach out injured, their creativity will certainly be weaker, though Farke must find a way to end this wretched run in front of goal.
