Matchday Twelve brings new subplots among the 20 teams in the Premier League. Here's what to keep an eye on.

Leeds United vs West Ham

Leeds may have lost 3-1 to high flying Chelsea, but there are reasons for Marcelo Bielsa to be optimistic. Patrick Bamford has proven himself to be a Premier League striker, his goal at Chelsea putting him on eight for the season.

However, it is their defence that is proving an Achilles heel for Leeds. They have now conceded five goals from set pieces in the league this season and now have the third weakest defence in the top flight with 20 goals conceded. Leeds miss Ben White yet must tighten it up if they want to avoid being in a relegation fight.
