• Senior debut for boyhood club Leeds United
• Almost 4,000 minutes across 50 appearances
• Playing as a right-back, not a centre-midfielder

In his first senior campaign, Archie Gray is the EFL Championship Young Player of the Season.

📈 Promotion pressure at fever-pitch as Leicester, Ipswich & #LUFC stumble over each other to set up an incredibly tense few weeks. So much on the line that Foxes boss Enzo Maresca locked his team in the dressing room after losing to Plymouth last wknd.

Oliver Glasner is what happens when you combine Jesse Marsch and Steven Gerrard right down the middle.

Unreal likeness, mannerisms and dress sense. Bet that Apple Watch never comes off, either.

🎯 Leeds have underperformed their xG at attacking set-pieces by a greater degree than every other Ch'ship team this season, except Sheff Wed. Blackburn & QPR to come; both have conceded 15 goals from set-plays this year - a joint-Ch'ship high.
