Leeds United’s average home attendance compared with Premier League rivals ahead of Fulham clash | OneFootball

Leeds United hope to return to winning ways when Fulham visit Elland Road on Saturday. Attention is also on where their home crowds rank across the Premier League.

yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk highlights how Elland Road attendances compare across the top flight. The Whites have lost just once in their last six at home and are unbeaten in the last four, taking eight points against Chelsea, Liverpool, Crystal Palace and Manchester United. That run has helped Daniel Farke’s side open up an eight-point gap to the relegation zone.

This weekend is also the first since Leeds City Council approved plans to lift Elland Road’s capacity to over 53,000. The project is a major boost for the club and the local community. It will make Elland Road the seventh biggest stadium in the Premier League.

Across the league, average attendances include Bournemouth 11,150, Brentford 17,084, Burnley 21,084 and Crystal Palace 25,016. Fulham’s figure is 27,075, while Wolverhampton Wanderers’ stands at 29,731.

Leeds and Fulham meet with that home run behind the hosts, and the focus on attendances likely to continue.
