Leeds United have been left disappointed after a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

The Whites were favourites coming into the game at Elland Road on 20 September, with the Eagles having lost three of their opening four Premier League games.

In the end, Daniel Farke's team and the South London club shared points after a rather underwhelming display.

The Elland Road side have maintained their unbeaten run at the start of the season, but will certainly feel they should've done more against Palace.

With the West Yorkshire outfit winning two and drawing three of their five fixtures, things aren't bad for them.

Last season, fans in LS11 worried about relegation, but this year they can dream of a European finish, especially with the likes of James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic, Ethan Ampadu and Dominic Calvert-Lewin in fine form.

There's still plenty of the season to go as Leeds sit fifth in the table ahead of the September-October international break.

The Whites have done well to find themselves in this position, with relegation chances now at 6.75 per cent, according to Opta's supercomputer.

While unlikely, the West Yorkshire outfit have been given a 14.02 per cent chance of qualifying for the Champions League this season.

As for Europa League qualification, it stands at 6.62 per cent.

A 10th-place finish has been predicted for the Peacocks in the Premier League - and if they punch a little above their weight, the Conference League could be in their sights.

Why real test begins for Daniel Farke after international break

It was towards the end of November when Farke started to turn things around at Leeds, and it could once again be the month that determines their prospects for the 2026-27 campaign.

After the international break, the Whites are scheduled to face Arsenal away from home and any positive result in that game will be welcomed by supporters in LS11.

Manchester United, Sunderland, Bournemouth and Tottenham Hotspur will be the next opponents unless there are any changes.

If the West Yorkshire outfit manage to somewhat maintain their position in the league table after 10 games, they could have a real opportunity to do something special.

The season is long, with many possible twists and turns, but the hopes in LS11 will still be high despite dropping points against Palace.
