On the back of defeating leaders Leicester City on away territory, the assumption was that Leeds would make light work of the likes of Plymouth Argyle and Rotherham United.
Instead, Daniel Farke has witnessed his side perform below their best, with Leeds struggling over the line against Plymouth before the international break ahead of the return to action against the Millers.
An early goal put the Yorkshire giants in control against their hosts, only for a goal to be conceded just before half time which allowed the strugglers to earn a share of the spoils.
In the long run, Leeds have still won six of their last eight games in the Championship, yet they can ill-afford to drop points if they wish to close the gap on the top two.
Even though Ipswich lost 2-0 at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday evening, Leeds are still seven points adrift of the Tractor Boys ahead of this encounter.
Swansea had appeared to have turned a corner when they won four games in succession after a slow start under Michael Duff, yet that has soon changed.
Just five points have been collected from their six most recent fixtures, even though just one defeat has been posted in four outings.
On paper, a 2-2 draw against opponents in Hull City who sit many places above them in the table could be regarded as a positive result, but Swansea gave up a two-goal lead that they had established after 23 minutes.
