Here is the Leeds United morning digest for Tuesday, October 27.
Bamford proving to be talismanic Cantona figure
Patrick Bamford broke a 28-year-old record with his hat-trick against Aston Villa last week.
The former Chelsea youngster netted a hat-trick at Villa Park that took him to six league goals for the season.
It also makes him the first player since Eric Cantona in 1992/93 to score six or more goals in Leeds’ opening six games of a top-flight season.
The stat was noted by Opta’s Jonny Cooper, who shared the other Leeds players to reach that tally during the start of a season.
The feat puts Bamford in esteemed company, with Peter Lorimer the last player to do it prior to Cantona during the 1973/74 season.

Leeds and other Premier League clubs to vote on controversial pay-per-view
Leeds United are set to vote on the controversial pay-per-view arrangements organised by the Premier League.
Fans are currently being charged £14.95 to watch games that were not selected for television, with the fixtures available through Sky Sports’ and BT Sport's box office services.
The Premier League has been urged by fans’ groups, including the Football Supporters’ Association, to reconsider their pricing structure, as many have refused to pay it.
Richard Masters - the Premier League’s chief executive - said that the price was “defensible”, with broadcaster BT Sport explaining that the fee was to cover screening costs.
