Three things learned about Leeds United in 2026-27 already with one concern fading

Leeds United have had a flying start to the 2026-27 Premier League season.

Daniel Farke has the Whites sitting in third place after four games, with only three goals currently conceded.

The German manager had spoken of changing the ambitions in LS11 at the end of last campaign, and he has certainly showed that is the case.

Leeds are becoming a tough team to beat, and that will serve them well throughout the season.

And with the international break shortly around the corner, now is a good time to look back and give an early assessment.

So, here are three things we have already learned about Leeds this season.

How Leeds have significantly improved their squad depth

Leeds had a strong transfer window that saw them bring in many players without really spending much.

It was smart investment, and that is beginning to show on the pitch for Farke.

James Trafford, Tarik Muharemovic and Nico Elvedi have been the clear standouts, but the LS11 side still have Harry Wilson, Melvin Bard and Jean-Matteo Bahoya to properly come into the fold.

If the latter three can come into form, then Farke will have some truly elite attacking power to bring off the bench.

The fact Leeds are where they are despite those three yet to have an impact, says quite a lot.

Leeds players are working harder for each other

Farke has his team working much harder, and the early data is beginning to prove that.

As per Sofascore, Leeds are running 114.6 kilometres per game this campaign, while last season, that was averaged at 106.5 km.

That is a sizeable difference and while this season is only a small sample size, it goes to show that hard work can yield results.

Hopefully this is a trend that can be continued throughout the rest of Leeds' Premier League games.

Leeds should not worry about the bottom of the table

Even though Leeds were among the relegation talk last season and comfortably survived, there was still some chatter about it again this campaign.

The Opta supercomputer considered Leeds vulnerable to the drop at the start of the season.

Those concerns have been shown to be misplaced with Leeds looking far better equipped to compete at the Premier League level, and frankly push for more than just survival.

A push for Europe can not be ruled out, although there is plenty of the season left to go.

Injuries and suspensions could still have a role to play, but things are moving in a positive direction.
