The Whites are currently sat in second place in the division – in the automatic promotion places – but have played a game more than Southampton in third.
The race for automatic promotion back to the Premier League is hotting up and Daniel Farke’s side are positioned well at this moment in time.
Leeds are looking to return to the top-flight at the first time of asking and the German head coach, who was brought in last summer to lead the charge, is on course to achieve the club’s goal.
He has been blessed with some star performers throughout the season. Crysencio Summerville has grabbed the headlines with his attacking output at the top end of the pitch but the real hero of the campaign for Farke has been versatile enforcer Ethan Ampadu
Crysencio Summerville’s Championship dominance
The 22-year-old winger has been in phenomenal form for the Whites with his outstanding contributions as both a scorer and a creator of goals on the flank.
He produced four goals and two assists in 28 Premier League appearances during the 2022/23 campaign as Leeds were relegated down to the Championship.
The drop to the second tier has allowed the Dutch sensation to flourish as Summerville is currently on a return of 15 goals and eight assists in 30 league matches this term.
His finishing has been extraordinary as he has scored those 15 goals from an xG of 11.62, which means that the talented whiz has more than made the most of the chances that have been created for him throughout the season.
Whereas, Summerville only has eight assists from an xA of 9.33. He has created 16 ‘big chances’ for his teammates but they have not been clinical enough with the opportunities that the young maestro has provided them with.
