Leeds were disappointed to drop Premier League points against Manchester United on Sunday.

The Whites fell behind at home but fought back in the second half, equalising through Dominic Calvert-Lewin in the 1-1 draw.

Michael Carrick's team managed to take a point away from West Yorkshire after a week full of carnage around them.

Daniel Farke has had a decent start to the season at Elland Road, but he still needs to address certain issues.

While the Peacocks have been defensively solid for the most part, they have kept just two clean sheets in seven league matches.

Since promotion to the Premier League, Farke's team have also faced obstacles with bogey kick-off times that seem to affect their prospects of getting three points.

How Leeds have made infamous Premier League history after draw vs Man United

Leeds did well to come back against Man United, but their poor run of form during specific kick-off times continues in the Premier League.

Kick-off at Elland Road was scheduled for 2pm, a notoriously bad omen for the Whites in recent months.

In league matches where the West Yorkshire outfit have kicked off before 3pm, they have registered eight draws and 13 losses.

Farke's team haven't won in those 21 matches, the longest run by any team in Premier League history.

Why Daniel Farke's team are now worth fearing in Premier League

Leeds have lost only one of their last seven Premier League games and the defeat came in a tight affair against reigning champions Arsenal.

The Whites have become a much more solid unit under Farke after making some decent additions in the transfer window.

The West Yorkshire outfit's performances have been such that Carrick had to change his approach for the game.

The Red Devils were happy to sit deep and let Leeds control possession.

Last season, top teams might have found things easy against Farke's men, but now they can certainly go head-to-head with any side in the top flight.

Fans in LS11 have high hopes for their team and all signs point towards another fruitful season under the German manager.
