"It's beautiful, isn't it? That's what football is about!" Morgan Gibbs-White looks ahead to Friday Night Football as Nottingham Forest take on Leeds United 👀

For any Manchester City fans tuning in to Friday Night Football, this is what’s known as an atmosphere.

That assist from Gruev btw. That’s not just a “long ball.” He slices through the bottom of the ball, left leg approaching on a diagonal angle before contact & planting immediately after. Backspin on the ball to keep the 1st bounce low.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has scored more Premier League goals (10) than these players this season: Benjamin Sesko Bukayo Saka Cole Palmer Bryan Mbeumo Viktor Gyökeres João Pedro Mo Salah Phil Foden Nick Woltemade Ollie Watkins Mohammed Kudus Matheus Cunha Jarrod Bowen

Daniel Farke has won seven of his 25 Premier League matches in charge of Leeds. He only managed to win six of his 49 Premier League matches as Norwich manager 😲 💻 OptaJoe

Leeds United’s record with Daniel Farke under the lights at Elland Road (KO, 7.45pm or later) Played: 21 Wins: 18 Draws: 3 Losses: 0 #LUFC a different beast on night-time matches. Nothing quite like it 🤍💛💙

Happy 78th birthday David Harvey 447 appearances between the sticks over two spells for Leeds 1965/79 & 1983/84 League title winner 🏆 FA Cup winner 🏆 Inter Cities Fairs Cup winner 🏆 x2 Another club legend. amzn.eu/d/izlwF3M

Bogle started his surge before Gruev had the ball. He knew it was coming. Those February nights at ER. This was emphatic Leeds, epitomised by their 'Stoichkov-Matthaus' hybrid. Architect of a goal so clinically executed it unfolded in slow motion. #lufc nytimes.com/athletic/70285…

🔥 Hang it in the Louvre!

Leeds United in 2025-26 are the first newly promoted side in Premier League history to remain unbeaten against both Chelsea and Liverpool in a season. #lufc

In the last 3 seasons the 4th bottom place side has survived with 32, 36 & 39 points. We have 30 points with 39 points still to play for & we’re in a relegation battle FFS!!

Probably the best limbs you’ll see all season. Celtic at Kilmarnock yesterday… 👏👏

3 - In Anton Stach (3) and Dominik Szoboszlai (3), this is the first Premier League season to see two players score at least three goals from direct free-kicks since Christian Eriksen and Jason Puncheon in 2014-15 (3 each). Range.

Anton Stach has created 2.4 chances per 90 minutes in the Premier League for Leeds United this season, the most by a player for any newly promoted side since Raphinha in 2020-21 (also 2.4). #lufc

If you want an image of this season's #EPL this is it: a player from one of last season's trophy winners celebrating wildly an opponent being sent off. This season has been marred by time wasting, long throws, play acting, diving and poor refereeing. The Beautiful Game it ain't.

Leeds United today are the first team Opta has on record since 2003-04 to not face a single shot on target in a match where they played the second half with 10 men. A real battling performance. #lufc

0 - Leeds United are the only team on record to have a player sent off in the first half and not concede a single shot on target in the same Premier League match (since 2003-04). Determination.

When you think about #LUFC’s recent past: Players refusing to play, demanding to be transferred, having to train on their own, being told by their club captain: “if you don’t want to be here, f*** off”. Contrast all of that to: Gabriel Gudmundsson - who no one thought

It's gonna be a talking point for a lot longer than today. During FA Cup rounds with no VAR it's highlighted how bad the refereeing standard has been. Refs are afraid to make calls now, relying on VAR to make the call. Today we saw another ref make error after error after error.

An incredible ending sees Leeds United pick up a point to move them nine clear of the relegation zone ⚪️
