- Three Leeds questions this week include does Harry Wilson signing actually solve a problem?
Leeds United battled against the elements to earn a decent point at Sunderland.
On paper, you could argue the Whites should be disappointed with a 0-0 draw at the Black Cats, who are bottom of the Premier League.

But with Storm Boelo causing extremely blustery conditions, it was never going to be one for the purists.
So, in the end, Daniel Farke's side added a valuable point to the tally as Leeds drew for the fifth time in eight league outings.
Next up is a trip to the South Coast as Leeds take on a Bournemouth side still buzzing from their 3-0 win at Manchester United.
Before that clash, MOT Leeds Newslooks at three questions for fans to think about from the past week.
Has Harry Wilson actually solved a problem for Leeds United?
Harry Wilson was handed just a second Premier League start in the goalless draw with Sunderland.

But it was another game where the Wales international struggled to impact the game, and he cut a frustrated figure.
BBC reporter Jonathan Buchan posed the question of whether Wilson has actually solved a problem at Leeds on the Don't Go To Bed Just Yet podcast.
He was at pains to acknowledge the talent Wilson possesses, but he thinks the way Wilson is being utilised at Leeds isn't getting the best out of his ability to create chances and as such that problem still exists.
There is still plenty of time to Wilson to find his feet, but it has been a difficult start since he joined from Fulham.

Why Harry Wilson has not solved a 'major problem' at Leeds United as transfer questioned Is Gabriel Gudmundsson getting a free ride from fans?
On the same podcast, Kaiser Chiefs bassist Simon Rix asked if Gabriel Gudmundsson gets an easy ride from Leeds fans.
Rix was making the point that while the likes of Brenden Aaronson often cop for the most criticism, he thinks Gudmundsson's output goes under the radar.
The Sweden international only has one Premier League assists, and zero top-flight goals, since joining from Lille in the summer of 2025.
So, is Gudmundsson getting a free ride? Or is he offering enough in general to make up for the lack of goals and assists?

Are the draws going to kill Leeds this season?
There are two ways to look at Leeds' season right now.
With the glass half full, it is now only one defeat in eight top-flight games and Leeds are an extremely difficult team to beat.
With the glass half empty, that's now five draws out of eight and another presentable opportunity has passed Leeds by.
Leeds have lofty ambitions, as well they should, and what they won't want is to regret not turning some of these draws into victories.
