Head coach Farke remains optimistic, citing previous performances against top teams as evidence that Leeds can compete. However, the team's lack of goals is a major concern, with only one win from their past five league games.

The team's biggest issue is their inability to score goals, with only 10 goals in the season so far. Defender Joe Rodon is the joint top scorer with two goals, alongside Noah Okafor and Lukas Nmecha.

Leeds create chances like a mid-table team, but their strikers have been struggling to convert these opportunities into goals. Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been starting more often than not, but has yet to make a significant impact, with only one goal from eight shots on target.

To turn their season around, Leeds need to strengthen their squad, particularly in the attacking department. Finding a striker who can hit the ground running in the Premier League is a challenge, but there are a few players who have the potential to make an impact.

One possible solution is Promise David, a 6'5" Canadian striker with a record of 31 goals in 59 appearances for Belgian side Union St.Gilloise. He has the physicality to succeed in the Premier League and has been clinical in front of goal, with five league goals this season.

Left back is another area that needs attention, with Gabriel Gudmundsson struggling to adapt to the pace of the Premier League. Some competition from a player like Ipswich's Leif Davis could help raise his game.

Ultimately, hope is not completely lost for Leeds, but they will need to spend in the January transfer window to stay in the Premier League. With the challenging fixtures ahead, it will take an incredible effort from Farke's team to turn their season around.

The Elland Road factor will be crucial, and if Leeds can make home a fortress, who knows what might happen.
