Leeds United are preparing to visit Leicester City in the Championship on Friday night as they look to succeed where all but one team have thus far failed

Intrigue, if not trepidation, is natural for anyone of a Leeds United persuasion looking ahead to Friday night. Leicester City, the Championship leaders, await with their 14-point, 12-goal advantage at King Power Stadium.

If Leicester were dealing with the same turmoil behind the scenes as Leeds in August it did not show in the results. Four wins from four games swiftly opened up the gap to the Whites, but, barring a blip at home to Hull City, they haven’t let up since then either. Nobody in the second tier has amassed a better combined score for expected goals and assists than Georginio Rutter. The 21-year-old should have just about delivered four goals and six assists up to now, but is on two goals and five assists.

The most exciting aspect of that pair’s output is their per-90 measurement. They are tied on 0.83 goals and assists expected for every 90 minutes they are on the field. Nobody in the league is better.
