Leeds United have entered the World Cup break and supporters will have to wait until their next Premier League outing. The Whites were showing form before the break, seeing off Liverpool and Bournemouth to bolster their points tally but they were unable to enter the lay-off on a high.
Despite leading three times, the Whites fell to an agonising 4-3 loss to Tottenham Hotspur and they’ll spend the next six and a half weeks mulling over that defeat. As a result, Leeds sit in 15th , just two points above the Premier League drop zone, and they’ll know they need to find consistency when they return to action.
Here’s all you need to know about the Whites' return to action.

What are the Leeds United v Man City talking points?
Well, all eyes will be on Kalvin Phillips as the midfielder returns to Elland Road for the first time since leaving in the summer.

Erling Haaland may pick up attention, too, as he makes his first appearance against Leeds, the club he supported as a youngster following his father’s exploits in white. Haaland was also born in Leeds.
