Thu 30 April 2020 19:00, UK

Retired midfielder Olivier Dacourt has made an early prediction that Leeds United will be playing their football in the Premier League next season.

There is so much uncertainty in the air over which division the Whites will be in with the enforced coronavirus break taking its toll on the EFL.

Angus Kinnear recently revealed that it is still the goal of each Championship club to complete the season with Leeds sat top with nine games left to play.

Dacourt was asked by a fan when he would get the chance to relive his dream and meet the Frenchman, to which he responded rather quickly.

“Maybe next year at Elland road when will be in Premier League,” he wrote on his personal Twitter account.

The Frenchman was one of main men in the middle of the park in the famous Champions League era of the Whites and went down as a fan-favourite in West Yorkshire.

Dacourt’s guess is as good as anyone’s right now with the outcome of this break really up in the air, with each media outlet being told different things.

The Telegraph reported that over 66,000 tests will need to conducted in order for the game to resume, with nerves high amongst the professionals.

That was then shut down only hours later by the Sun journalist Alan Nixon, who warned that it could just be a scare tactic made out of hot air.

Either way, the signs aren’t massively positive, although the cancelled French league has today crowned Paris Saint-Germain as champions – possibly a good omen for Leeds.
