'Draws aren't that bad' - Leeds' attacking numbers analysed
Leeds players dejected against Arsenal

Leeds United's attacking numbers show the side "are actually mid-table", says BBC Radio Leeds' Jonny Buchan.

In the latest episode of the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast, the team broke down what is going wrong for Daniel Farke's attack and why it is resulting in so many draws - five in eight Premier League matches so far this season.

Buchan said: "In the Premier League for xG this season they sit in 13th - 10.5 is their xG. Shots on target per 90, they sit in 12th with four on average. Big chances, they sit 14th and have created 16 big chances.

"Accurate passes per-match, they sit 17th in the Premier League - 77.8 per cent completion rate on accurate passes.

"Defensively, they're in the top six for all of those stats. But all of those other stats show that Leeds are actually mid-table when it comes to the top of the field.

"Is that just the reality of it? That they're in the position they're in now because they managed to get a couple of decent results and they're on a decent run?"

Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix added: "If you offered most Leeds fans every game is going to be 0-0 from now until the end of the season so we'd get another 30 points, would you take it? And everybody would be like 'yeah, fine'.

"So, draws aren't that bad."
