Leeds Premier League rivals in big trouble in new Gabby Agbonlahor relegation prediction
Leeds United are six points above the relegation zone after beating Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Saturday.
Oliver Glasner’s team were outclassed at Elland Road, with the Whites scoring four goals to seal the three points.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin will be dreaming of playing for England at the World Cup after scoring in five consecutive games for the West Yorkshire outfit.
The 28-year-old’s brace in the first half against the Eagles laid the foundation for the Peacocks to open a significant gap over 18th-place West Ham United in the league table.
West Ham in big trouble as Leeds United set for Premier League safety
Gabby Agbonhor believes Leeds have enough quality to avoid Premier League relegation this season.
The former Aston Villa ace expects the Whites’ form at Elland Road to guide them to safety by the end of the season.
As for West Ham, the ex-striker feels they are in “big trouble”, with the London Stadium not necessarily intimidating to opponents.
Speaking on talkSPORT on 22 December, Agbonlahor said: “You see the problem West Ham have got. Leeds can get results at home. They can get enough points at home, I think, to stay up. West Ham, it’s a nice place to go and play. West Ham are in big trouble.”
Daniel Farke was under severe pressure at Elland Road a few weeks back, with calls for his sacking growing among the fanbase.
Now, just a few weeks later, the German manager is being lauded, showing how quickly things can change in the Premier League.
Daniel Farke can’t take foot off gas as Elland Road transfer priority evident
Calvert-Lewin’s upturn in form has come at the right time for Farke, but that can’t distract the Whites from what’s needed in January.
While there’s an argument that the former Everton star can fire Leeds to safety on his own this season, supporters in LS11 will surely remember that he scored just one goal in his first 10 league matches for them.
The England international also has a history of picking up injuries, with Lukas Nmecha’s issues already evident at the West Yorkshire outfit.
Fans will hope Paraag Marathe and 49ers Enterprises don’t use Peacock’s recent form as an excuse to not reinforce the squad, especially the attack, in January.
