Review[]
August[]
Leeds began their Premier League campaign against "Battle of the Roses" rivals Manchester United at Old Trafford on 14 August 2021, live on BT Sport, losing by a score of 5–1. Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring for Manchester United in the 30th minute. After the half-time interval, Luke Ayling levelled the scores, with his first Premier League goal for Leeds. Mason Greenwood then put Manchester United ahead again in the 52nd minute, after Paul Pogba released him down the left wing. Fernandes added Manchester United's third in the 54th minute, after another assist from Pogba, and he completed his hat-trick with Manchester United's fourth goal in the 60th minute after Victor Lindelöf found him with a long ball. Fred then scored Manchester United's fifth goal in the 68th minute after a fourth assist from Pogba, a joint-Premier League record for a single match. The result left Leeds bottom of the Premier League table after the first match-week.[14]
Leeds next hosted Everton at Elland Road on 21 August 2021 at 15:00 BST. This was the first time Elland Road had a full capacity since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Leeds drew 2–2 with Dominic Calvert-Lewin opening the scoring from a penalty after referee Darren England ruled that Liam Cooper had fouled Calvert-Lewin by pulling on his shirt after consulting VAR. Mateusz Klich equalised for Leeds after Patrick Bamford found him. In the second half, Everton went in front after a Demarai Gray goal, however, Leeds later equalised through Raphinha. Raphinha became the first Leeds player to score in three consecutive matches against Everton since Peter Lorimer. The result moved Leeds out of the relegation places and up to 15th in the Premier League table.[15]
Leeds' next match was against League One club Crewe Alexandra at Elland Road in the EFL Cup second round on 24 August. Leeds won the tie 3–0 with a goal from captain for the night Kalvin Phillips and two more from Jack Harrison.[16]
Leeds' final match before the first international break of the season saw them travel to Turf Moor to draw 1–1 with Sean Dyche's Burnley on 29 August 2021. Burnley opened the scoring after a Matthew Lowton shot fell into former Leeds player Chris Wood's path, allowing him to prod the ball home; however, Leeds equalised through Bamford after a Jamie Shackleton shot fell into his path so he could foot it into the Burnley goal past Nick Pope. This was Bamford's first goal of the 2021-22 Premier League season and it came after England manager Gareth Southgate announced that he would receive his first England call-up for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in Group I against Hungary away at the Puskás Aréna on 2 September 2021, Andorra at home at Wembley Stadium on 5 September 2021 and Poland away at the PGE Narodowy on 8 September 2021. The result left Leeds in 15th place in the Premier League table before the first international break of the season — above Burnley in 16th place and below Palace in 14th place.[17][18]

Leeds first match after the first international break of the season will see them host Jürgen Klopp's Liverpool - who currently sit in 5th place in the Premier League table which is above Everton - who currently sit in 6th place in the Premier League table and below Chelsea - who currently sit in 4th place in the Premier League table, at Elland Road on 12 September 2021 at 16:30 BST.
