Leeds UnitedTwo penalty saves to qualify team
Perri made four saves and three clearances in Sunday's 2-2 (2-4) penalty shootout win over West Ham.
Analysis: Perri came up huge with two penalty saves in Sunday's shootout to punch Leeds United's ticket to the FA Cup semifinals for the first time in 39 years, diving left to deny Jarrod Bowen before stonewalling Pablo Felipe to lock in a 4-2 win on penalties after the match finished 2-2 following West Ham's wild stoppage-time comeback. He also delivered a strong low stop on Taty Castellanos in extra time to keep Leeds United alive, ending the day with four saves across 120 minutes and two more in the shootout. Perri has lost his starting spot to Karl Darlow in Premier League play, but Sunday's performance showed he can still step in and give the squad solid support when called upon.
Dropped from starting role
Perri has only played in two games since Jan. 7 and has seemingly been dropped from starting duties.
Analysis: Perri began the season in a starting role and maintained that spot until around January, earning only a clean sheet in his past 13 games before being dropped. Since being dropped, he has only earned two starts, both of which came in FA Cup play, yet to see the league field. It appears the club now prefers Karl Darlow in the starting spot, who has been slightly better, earning three clean sheets and 19 goals allowed in 15 games compared to Perri's three and 29, respectively.
Concedes four in loss
Perri recorded three saves and allowed four goals in Wednesday's 4-3 defeat against Newcastle United.
Analysis: Perri conceded more than three goals for a second time in 16 appearances on the season. On the other hand, this was the sixth time in that span that he accounted for at least three saves. Up next in league play for Leeds United is a meeting with Fulham on January 17.
One save in draw
Perri recorded one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Manchester United.
Analysis: Perri was not heavily tested but produced a strong save to deny Leny Yoro and was partly at fault for the goal conceded after coming off his line. He has allowed four goals across his last five appearances with one clean sheet against Liverpool, an improvement from the 15 goals conceded in the previous six matches without a shutout as Leeds' defense has improved. He now faces a difficult test Wednesday against Newcastle United.
Excellent for draw
Perri had four saves and allowed zero goals in Thursday's 0-0 draw versus Liverpool.
Analysis: Perri stopped all four shots he faced during Thursday's draw. The goalkeeper wasn't overly tested, especially considering how good Liverpool can be at Anfield. He made a few big stops and did plenty to earn the clean sheet and a man of the match award. Perri will likely face plenty of volume in the coming weeks despite the run of good form the club is in.
Two saves in 1-1 draw
Perri made two saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Sunderland.
Analysis: Perri made two saves but has continued his run to 10 games without a clean sheet. He has conceded one in each of the last three games and hasn't made more than two saves in any of these games.
Concedes late penalty in win
Perri registered two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 4-1 victory against Crystal Palace. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 91st minute.
Analysis: Perri was on course for his first clean sheet since late August but conceded a late penalty, extending his run to nine straight matches without one. Over that stretch, he has allowed 18 goals while making 25 saves and is set to face Sunderland Sunday.
One save in 1-1 draw
Perri made one save and allowed one goal in Sunday's 1-1 draw versus Brentford.
Analysis: Perri made one save but was unable to stop Jordan Henderson's effort, which took a deflection on the way past the keeper. Perri has kept only two clean sheets in 11 games in the Premier League. These two clean sheets came in his opening two home games in August. The keeper is still waiting for an away clean sheet.
Four saves for draw
Perri made four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-3 draw against Liverpool.
Analysis: Perri did just enough to earn the draw during Saturday's clash. The goalkeeper faced seven shots and stopped four of them to keep the draw. Perri faces tons of shots behind a leaky defense and midfield which gives him upside, but he has a very limited clean sheet chance in most matches. Perri will continue to be volatile moving forward.
Allows one goal in win
Perri recorded one save and allowed one goal in Wednesday's 3-1 victory against Chelsea.
Analysis: Perri had a relatively quiet outing in his team's win over Chelsea, finishing with just one save and one goal allowed, matching his season low in stops while extending his run to six straight appearances without a clean sheet since returning from injury, conceding 13 goals over that span. The goalkeeper will try to end that streak in Saturday's challenging home matchup against Liverpool.
Concedes three against City
Perri registered six saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Manchester City.
Analysis: Perri would have a decent outing with his six saves but still failed to win the match for his club, with three goals allowed, including a late stoppage-time winner. This continues a rough streak of five straight outings without a clean sheet after returning from injury, allowing 12 goals during that span. He will face Chelsea next in a midweek match on Wednesday, another tough outing for the keeper with two clean sheets in eight appearances.
Concedes two in loss
Perri had two saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 2-1 loss against Aston Villa.
Analysis: Perri started the season with two clean sheets in his first three games but then suffered an injury. Since returning, he has conceded nine goals in four matches as the team has struggled defensively. He faces a difficult test when Leeds visits Manchester City on Saturday.
Concedes three in loss
Perri made three saves and allowed three goals in Sunday's 3-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
Analysis: Perri made two excellent stops in the opening minutes, first pushing away a Morgan Gibbs-White effort and then clawing an Ibrahim Sangare shot off the line while on the ground. Leeds went ahead soon after, and he was beaten three times for the second game in a row. Perri will look to show a better figure after the break against Aston Villa on Nov. 23.
Concedes three in defeat
Perri had four saves and allowed three goals in Saturday's 3-0 loss against Brighton.
Analysis: Perri made a fine early save from Yasin Ayari but eventually conceded three goals as Leeds United struggled throughout. He faced fourteen shots and managed four saves on Saturday. His distribution under pressure led to a turnover in the 11th minute that set the tone for Brighton's opener. Perri will look to show a better figure against Nottingham Forest on Sunday.
Two saves in win
Perri had two saves and allowed one goal in Friday's 2-1 win against West Ham United. In addition, he was given a yellow card in the 84th minute.
Analysis: Perri made two saves in quick succession and conceded once late in the second half Friday as Leeds outlasted West Ham United for a 2-1 victory. The appearance was the veteran keeper's first after missing five league fixtures due to a quadriceps injury. Perri's next challenge is likely to come Saturday when Leeds travel to tussle with Brighton Hove & Albion.
Returns to bench
Perri (quadriceps) is on the bench for Saturday's clash against Burnley.
Analysis: Perri is in the squad Saturday but will remain on the bench after returning to full training this week. The Brazilian is coming off a four-game injury absence and may need more time before reclaiming his starting role. That said, his presence in the squad is a step forward in his recovery.
Training, questionable Saturday
Perri (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's match against Burnley, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Lucas was able to train with us in the past two weeks, and he's building up his fitness level."
Analysis: Perri looks to be on the mend and trending upwards this week, with the goalie able to rejoin team training. That has led the goalie to be questionable for Saturday's match, likely needing to pass some testing to make the field. This is solid news for the club after four straight games out, as he is their regular starter in net when fit and will return to that spot immediately once deemed healthy.
Won't return vs. Spurs
Perri (quadriceps) won't be an option to face Tottenham on Saturday, manager Daniel Farke told media during his pre-match press conference Thursday. "Some good news is that Lucas Perri right now is back in team training since yesterday. That is definitely good news but it is too early to involve him for this game."
Analysis: Perri is back in training, but he won't be ready to play this weekend. He should take over the starting role between the posts after the break, and once he does, Karl Darlow should return to his regular bench role.
Remains out
Perri (quadriceps) is out for Saturday's match against Bournemouth, according to manager Daniel Farke. "It is not a difficult decision because Lucas has not joined us in team training yet, so for that, of course, Karl has a great chance to play again if he stays fit."
Analysis: Perri was set to miss two games but will remain sidelined for another contest, with the goalie still not joining the team in training. He will now look ahead to next week to rejoin the group and hopefully be an option, as he is a starter when fit. Darl Darlow should continue to start in net until Perri is fit again.
Set to miss two games
Perri is set to miss two games due to a quadriceps injury, coach Daniel Farke said in the press conference. "One thing I can confirm is that Lucas is definitely out of the game. He reported after the last game that he had problems with his quad, we had a scan and there's muscle strain and will definitely miss the next two games against Fulham and Wolves. Then after that we'll see with more clarity when he'll return."
Analysis: Perri suffered a quadriceps injury after the last game with Leeds United and is dealing with a muscle strain. He will be out for at least the next two games, with Karl Darlow and Illan Meslier as a possible replacements between the posts during his absence.
