Leeds face a relentless run of fixtures against England's elite. Six consecutive matches against the top sides - Manchester United away, then home games against Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea, followed by trips to Tottenham and Manchester City - will test their credentials severely.
The scale of the challenge is stark. Every opponent in this sequence finished in the upper reaches of the table last season. There is no respite, no chance to build momentum against weaker sides. Leeds must find consistency across this gauntlet or risk falling behind in the title race, if that is their ambition, or slipping into a relegation battle if they are fighting at the other end.
No recent matches have been played. Leeds' next fixture is the away trip to Old Trafford against Manchester United.
