Quiet outing
Calvert-Lewin recorded no stats in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin would have a rough match Sunday as he worked back into the starting XI after some injury concerns, unable to record a single shot in his 85 minutes on the field. This comes after a goal last match, recording four goals in eight appearances (eight starts) this campaign.
Fit to start against Sunderland
Calvert-Lewin (foot) is in the starting lineup for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland despite dealing with a bruised foot.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin has recovered sufficiently from his foot injury to retain his place in Leeds' starting XI against Sunderland. The striker had been considered questionable after picking up the issue during the recent 1-1 draw against Manchester United, in which he scored Leeds' equalizer with a right-footed finish inside the penalty area. He has scored four goals in eight Premier League appearances this season, establishing himself as a key figure in Leeds' attack.
Questionable for Sunderland game
Calvert-Lewin is questionable for Sunday's Premier League clash against Sunderland after suffering a bruised foot, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Calvert-Lewin is struggling with a bruised foot."
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin faces uncertainty over his availability for Sunday's encounter against Sunderland after picking up a foot issue during Leeds' recent 1-1 draw against Manchester United. The striker played a key role in that match, scoring the equalizer with a right-footed finish from inside the penalty area following a corner. His efficiency in front of goal and physical presence have made him an important figure in Leeds' attacking setup, meaning his potential absence would represent a significant blow. Coach Farke has described the problem as a bruised foot but has yet to confirm whether Calvert-Lewin will be fit enough to feature Sunday. His availability will likely depend on how the injury responds to treatment ahead of kickoff. Lukas Nmecha could be set for increased playing time if he misses time.
Nets equalizer against United
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with three shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin brought Leeds level with a right-footed finish from the center of the penalty area following an assist from Tarik Muharemovic after a corner. The English striker attempted three shots, putting one on target, while also creating one chance as he led Leeds' attacking line throughout the encounter. He has now scored four goals on 14 shots across seven Premier League appearances this season, demonstrating impressive efficiency in front of goal despite a relatively modest shooting volume. His physical presence, positioning inside the box and ability to convert opportunities continue to make him a central figure in Leeds' attacking setup.
Endures quiet outing against Arsenal
Calvert-Lewin recorded one cross (zero accurate) and two clearances in Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Arsenal.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin played the full 90 minutes but failed to register a shot, narrowly missing Gabriel Gudmundsson's low cross before James Justin converted Leeds' opening goal. The striker has now gone two consecutive Premier League matches without scoring, attempting just one shot during that span. Despite the recent slowdown, he has scored three goals from 11 shots across six league appearances this season, starting every match. His consistent starting role and early-season scoring production remain encouraging, although the lack of recent shooting opportunities represents a concern for his attacking output.
Limited to one shot
Calvert-Lewin generated one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin came closest to breaking the deadlock for Leeds United when he met James Justin's cross from close range in the second half, only for Walter Benitez to produce a reaction save. The striker remained on the pitch for the full 90 minutes but otherwise received limited service against Palace's defense. Calvert-Lewin has scored three goals across five Premier League appearances this season and remains Leeds' primary option through the middle.
Scores, assists in rout Monday
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal and assisted once from four shots and one chance created in Monday's 4-1 win versus Newcastle United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 44th minute.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin gave Leeds a 3-0 lead late in the first half, and before that, he jumped higher than everyone else to nod home a header that ultimately went in after it deflected off Jayden Bogle. Calvert-Lewin has two goals and one assist over his last three league starts, and he should remain as Leeds' starting striker as long as he stays healthy.
Two shots producing strong saves
Calvert-Lewin recorded two shots (two on goal) and one chance created in Saturday's 1-1 draw against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 64th minute.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin took two shots against Brighton but was unable to find the back of the net. He has put his last three shots on target, scoring from his only shot in the last game. The two shots caused strong saves from Bart Verbruggen and the striker will look to add to his tally in the coming weeks. He also created his first chance of the season in this game.
Scores equalizer against Brentford
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-1 draw against Brentford.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin showed his predatory instincts in the 78th minute, bundling home Lukas Nmecha's low square pass after Ethan Ampadu's delivery across the face of goal gave the substitute the simplest of finishes to level the match and send Elland Road into raptures. He registered one shot on goal across 90 minutes but made the decisive run at the perfect moment to capitalize on Brentford's defensive lapse. Calvert-Lewin now has one goal from two Premier League appearances and his clinical late contribution helped Leeds extend their unbeaten start to four points.
Blanks in GW1 with three shots
Calvert-Lewin generated three shots (zero on goal) in Saturday's 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 32nd minute.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin started his 2026/27 campaign without a goal despite taking three shots in the win over Nottingham Forest. Last season the striker had a great campaign with 14 goals. Last season there were three occasions where he took three shots or more without putting a shot on target.
Scores twice in return to action
Calvert-Lewin (undisclosed) recorded a brace off the bench during Sunday's practice match against Liverpool.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin did a great job in 45 minutes of play after overcoming a minor injury setback, proving himself ready for the start of the season. The forward has enjoyed some strong moments over the past year, leading his side with 14 league goals in the 2025/26 campaign. He'll likely remain the team's primary attacking threat as long as he stays healthy, with his inclusion potentially pushing Lukas Nmecha to a bench role.
Sidelined with setback
Calvert-Lewin (undisclosed) missed Leeds' preseason friendly against Wrexham after a small setback prevented him from completing his individual training program, according to Leeds Live.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin is training individually while building back up toward full team training, with his aerial threat and hold up play an important piece of Leeds' attacking options once he's back involved. His absence is one of several notable ones for Leeds during the club's preseason trip to the United States, and no specific details on the setback have been disclosed. He's expected to continue his individual buildup before rejoining the group.
Scores late winner vs Brighton
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 victory against Brighton. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 97th minute.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin's excellent end to the season continued Sunday as he scored an unassisted goal in the 96th minute to defeat Brighton in the final home match of the season. It was his only shot in the match and it marked his 14th goal of the season, three of which have come in his last three matches. He'll look to finish the season strong Sunday at West Ham.
Converts penalty Monday
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Monday's 1-1 draw against Tottenham Hotspur.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin scored the equalizing goal Monday, a well-struck penalty in the 74th minute to secure the road draw. It marked his 13th goal of the campaign, three of which have come in his last five contests. He didn't do much else outside of the penalty, but that was enough for him to make a massive impact on the match and the relegation battle.
Scores in Friday's win
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal) and one cross (zero accurate) in Friday's 3-1 victory versus Burnley. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 48th minute.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin found the back of the net in the 56th minute Friday, an unassisted strike that took the 3-0 lead. It marked his 12th goal of the campaign, two of which have come in the last four matches. He was subbed off in the 94th minute for Wilfried Gnonto.
Converts from the spot
Calvert-Lewin scored one goal to go with four shots (two on goal) in Saturday's 3-0 win against Wolverhampton.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin capped Saturday's 3-0 win over Wolverhampton by converting a stoppage-time penalty in the second half, marking his 300th league appearance in style and securing back-to-back Premier League wins for his side for the first time this season. The English striker was a menace throughout, forcing Daniel Bentley into a smothering save inside the first minute and having a cutback roll across the face of goal in the opening exchanges before finally getting his reward from the spot. Calvert-Lewin has now scored 11 Premier League goals this season, leading his team's scoring charts across 30 appearances.
Scores off bench
Calvert-Lewin scored a penalty off bench to go with two shots (two on target) in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout win over West Ham.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin checked in off the bench in the 69th minute and made an instant impact, scoring a penalty in the 75th minute after Max Kilman's reckless challenge on Brenden Aaronson was confirmed by VAR, giving Leeds a 2-0 lead that looked like it had punched their ticket to the semifinals before the late collapse forced a penalty shootout. The striker then stepped up with composure in the shootout and converted as Leeds claimed a 4-2 win on spot-kicks after West Ham had dramatically pulled level in stoppage time. Calvert-Lewin snapped a two-month scoring drought and will look to carry that momentum into Monday's clash against Manchester United.
Scores from bench
Calvert-Lewin (hamstring) appeared for 51 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout win over West Ham.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin appeared for the club Sunday in a bench spot and likely played a bit more than expected, entering in the 69th minute but playing over a half of football due to extra time. He would find the back of the net as well, converting a penalty in the 75th minute for the second goal of the match, also converting from the spot in the shootout. He will look to return to a starting role now that he is fit, a regular starter for the club.
Questionable against West Ham
Calvert-Lewin is questionable for Sunday's FA Cup clash against West Ham due to a hamstring issue, according to coach Daniel Farke. "Dominic felt his hamstring, question mark behind his availability."
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin is questionable for Saturday's FA Cup clash against West Ham due to a hamstring issue suffered during the international break. The forward has started recent Premier League matches but typically holds a bench role in FA Cup fixtures, so his potential absence is unlikely to impact the starting XI, with Lukas Nmecha or Noah Okafor expected to lead the line.
Three shots, no goal
Calvert-Lewin registered three shots (two on goal) in Sunday's 0-0 draw versus Crystal Palace.
Analysis: Calvert-Lewin would rip off three shots Sunday and manage two on target, although he couldn't break the deadlock in the draw. This is now a fifth straight appearance without a goal for the forward, closing in on his worst streak of the season of seven. He does still have 10 goals this season, hoping to catch fire again soon.
