Season summary
Despite finishing first the previous season, Leeds suffered something of a reversal this season: they were eliminated from the Champions League by Rangers and finished in 17th place in the Premier League. Although their home form was amongst the best in the Premier League – they lost only once at home, 4–1 to a Nottingham Forest side that finished the season last, and managed to put 5 goals past both Blackburn and Tottenham, both of whom finished in the top eight – a failure to win away from home all season cost Leeds dearly. As the season drew to a close Leeds were in danger of being only the second team to be relegated a season after winning the league title, but managed to secure safety with a few matches to spare, although they did finish only two points away from relegation.
