Dean Ashton has said on the EFL on Quest TV show that teams are figuring out how to play against Leeds United at Elland Road.

The former Norwich City and West Ham United striker made the comments following Leeds’s 1-0 defeat to Swansea City at home in the Championship at the weekend.

Wayne Routledge scored in the 90th minute of the match to help the Swans to maximum points from the encounter.

Ashton, who now works as a pundit for Quest TV, has pointed out Leeds’s form at Elland Road, and believes that teams are starting to work them out.

Ashton said on the EFL on Quest TV show: “I thought they were excellent the way they set up but I think teams are working out how to play against Leeds at Elland Road. They have won one in seven at home in all competitions.”

Worry for Leeds United?

Leeds’s recent form at Elland Road is far from impressive, and it is clear that Marcelo Bielsa’s side need to work on that.

However, there is no reason to panic just yet, as the West Yorkshire outfit are still playing well in front of their own fans and creating chances.

The problem with Leeds against Swansea at the weekend was that they could not take their chances.

According to BBC Sport, the Whites had 62% of the possession, took 21 shots of which three were on target, and earned six corners.

Such stats demonstrate just how dominate Leeds were against Swansea, and they would have won the game had they taken their chances.
