Leeds United have made an impressive start to the campaign with a win and a draw in their opening two Premier League fixtures. The Whites are yet to keep a clean sheet and know they'll have to be at the top of their game if they're to stop Chelsea scoring when they make the trip to Elland Road this weekend.
However, according to The Other 14, an account that compiles statistics for the Premier League that excludes players at top-six clubs, Jesse Marsch may have found the answer. During game week two, Robin Koch had the second-best defensive statistics despite the Whites fluffing a two-goal lead.
Koch registered nine defensive actions - blocking on shot and made eight clearances at St. Mary's. Only Joachim Anderson of Crystal Palace had a better return than the Leeds United defender.

It's an impressive return for the German who has made a solid start to the 2022/23 campaign. Koch has already spoken about his desire to make the World Cup squad with his country later this year.
The 26-year-old has struggled with consistency and his fitness since arriving at Elland Road. Making sure both of those improve this season will be key in avoiding a repeat of last year's great escape on the final day of the season.
