A 3pm kick-off at Elland Road is the centerpiece of the weekend for many Loiners so a Leeds United performance like the one against Watford holds huge influence in the city.

Their rip roaring start deserved so much more reward than it got. Ethan Ampadu's curling effort was palmed out brilliantly by Daniel Bachmann and then Daniel James found Rutter all alone in front of the keeper but couldn't beat him. The way Leeds were playing made life almost impossible for Watford, who couldn't get out of their own half. Ampadu and Glen Kamara bit at heels high up the pitch, Liam Cooper and Pascal Struijk kept things under control at the back and full-backs Jamie Shackleton and Sam Byram went foraging upfield. The front four buzzed around, rotating, linking and creating against a side who have been difficult to create against for others this season.
But this Leeds attack is simply better than other front lines in the Championship. It has quality and talent that, on its absolutely worst day, is pitched somewhere in between the second tier and top flight. Crysencio Summerville, James, Rutter and Joel Piroe are a problem for anyone.
