Leeds lost 2-1 to Arsenal but a player earned Premier League Team of the Week recognition, suggesting individual quality is breaking through in a difficult run. The 3-4-2-1 setup under Farke has kept them competitive even when results haven't followed.

Farke's three-centre-back system leaves Ampadu and Stach exposed in midfield pressing; neither has the engine to cover the ground Salah and De Bruyne exploited in top sides, and that's why Arsenal carved them open despite the shape.
