Amid Leeds United fears, how many points did the relegated clubs have after 11 Premier League games last term?

Leeds United supporters are feeling a bit panicked after successive defeats in the Premier League.

Brighton and Nottingham Forest have both put three past the Whites in recent weeks as Daniel Farke watches on, seemingly with little proactivity and plenty of reactivity as his lack of in-game tactical changes begin to grate on Leeds fans.

The fact the German has never managed to keep a club in the Premier League either – despite having two opportunities with Norwich – provides cause for concern too.

As relegation fears set in, let’s take a look at where Southampton, Ipswich and Leicester – the three relegated sides from last season – were in the table after 11 games.

Leeds United are outperforming the relegated trio of last term

There is a crumb of comfort for Leeds fans in the fact that all three of the relegated clubs from last season were below 11 points after 11 games of the 2024/25 campaign.

Leicester were the best performing side of the three after 11 outings with ten points, while Ipswich had eight and Southampton amassed just four.

Leeds fans can also cling to the fact no side across the last ten Premier League seasons has been relegated after accumulating 11 points from the first ten games.

The signs are therefore promising, but it is the unproven record of Farke at this level which provides the largest cause for concern, having finished bottom with Norwich in the 2019/20 season before being sacked just 11 games into his next taste of this division in the 2021/22 campaign.

Ideal time for a wake-up call at Leeds United

The 49ers are pleased with Farke after he gathered 11 points from the first nine games, but there is no escaping the fact the German looked quite clueless in those defeats to Brighton and Nottingham Forest.

However, they could be a blessing in disguise for Leeds – who have been helped by a fixture rearrangement.

Farke now has two weeks during the international break to think about what he can do differently, and also reflect on his failures in the Premier League with Norwich.

Had Leeds entered this international break with two wins instead of losses, complacency may have started to set in instead of self-reflection.
