It's no secret Leeds United are facing a relegation battle for the second consecutive season but in recent weeks, Javi Gracia has brought new life to Elland Road.
Their first win in over 10 matches against a relegation rival in a six-pointer is a major confidence booster and despite the setback loss to Chelsea last weekend, the Whites will no doubt go head-first into a tough run against Brighton, Wolves, Arsenal and Crystal Palace.
With the relegation battle heating up, we took a look at some of the underlying stats to find the weaknesses of each team Leeds will be worrying about in the upcoming weeks...

Bournemouth
Bournemouth's biggest weakness is by far their defence. They have shipped the most goals of any team so far this season (51), and despite their low block, sit-back nature, they've still conceded three times in a third of all their league matches so far this season.
While they did enjoy a spell that saw them climb up to as high as eighth in October, it's been all downhill from there having won just twice in the four months since.
They've only kept three clean sheets all season, and incredibly have registered just 22 offsides all season - mainly because they're being pinned inside their own half.
The Cherries must start moving the ball forward quicker, getting chances in front of goal and then converting those chances if they want any hope of getting off the bottom of the table.
Everton
Everton can't score. It's as simple as that. The Toffees have the lowest amount of goals in the entire league this season (19), with their top scorer being Demarai Gray with three.
They have managed to underperform their Expected Goals (xG) by -10.8, the worst in the league by quite a large margin with no other club having underperformed by -8.4 or worse.
With Sean Dyche coming in though, things have looked ok for them in recent weeks although just four goals in their last six league matches does threaten a trend they will not want to go back to from earlier on in the season.
For a club that hasn't been relegated in over 70 years from England's top-flight, they're coming dangerously close and will need to find their shooting boots if they want to continue that streak.
Southampton
Keeping possession of the ball has been a main worry for Ruben Selles ever since he took over from Southampton late last month. The new Saints manager will have seen their record and knows what must be changed.
Southampton have the fifth-most tackles (204), second-most blocks (342) and most interceptions (278) of any team in the Premier League but they simply can't convert those chances into forward momentum when they regain the ball.
They have the fifth-lowest Progressive Passes (718), the fourth-lowest amount of Passes Into Final Third (628) and get tackled in just less than half of every take-on of an opposition player (211 successful take-ons from 444 attempts).
While James Ward-Prowse's magical dead-ball abilities have kept this team afloat for a lot of the season, their live-ball abilities as a whole must improve to see better results.
West Ham
West Ham's season has been constantly derailed by inconsistency. The Irons just can't seem to ever find their footing on a constant basis, whether it be defensively or in front of goal.
Over the last few weeks, they both won and lost 4-0 and their longest run this year without a loss has been just three games across January and February which saw them beat Everton and draw to Newcastle and Chelsea.
It seems as though both the players and manager David Moyes aren't sure who is to blame with both taking responsibility for the defeat to Brighton last weekend which captain Declan Rice called 'demoralising'.
Either way, Moyes and his players will be desperate to bounce back and get off on the right foot against Aston Villa at the weekend, but could struggle to get that much-needed consistency when you look at their upcoming fixtures of Manchester City, Southampton and Newcastle.
