Leeds United have the toughest run of festive fixtures in the Premier League according to research done by Sporting Life & Infogol. The Whites return to Premier League action following the World Cup break with a clash against Manchester City at Elland Road, before travelling to Newcastle United and then hosting West Ham.
Sporting Life's findings are based on Infogol's final forecasted position at the end of the season, with City expected to finish top, Newcastle in fifth and the Hammers in 11th. That equates to an average league position of 5.7, which is the lowest figure of any team in the division.
City currently sit second in the table and will come into the game with Erling Haaland on the back of a six-week rest, and a burning desire to atone for their 2-1 defeat to Brentford before the break. Their next opponents Newcastle are also among the most inform teams in Europe having lost just once in all competitions this season, as well as nine wins in their last 10.
