Neil Warnock makes Leeds United Premier League promotion prediction
Legendary manager Neil Warnock has made his prediction about Leeds United’s chances of earning promotion back to the Premier League.
The Whites currently sit in third place in the Championship, eight points behind the top two Leicester City and Ipswich Town but have already beaten the Foxes at the King Power Stadium.
And Warnock while speaking on talkSPORT (15 November) was asked about the current standings and while he acknowledged the job Daniel Farke is doing, he admitted that he expects them miss out on automatic promotion.
“I think those two teams might just edge, Leeds. Although Daniel has really got them firing now,” he said.
Prove him wrong
Leeds United had a bit of a slow start to the season with so many grey clouds surrounding the club when the transfer window was open and with injuries taking their toll.
But as the season has progressed, Farke has set the standards high and hit the nail on the head with his team and there is no doubt now that the Whites are one of the best teams in the division.
Leicester and Ipswich both started like a house on fire this season and have created a gap between themselves and the rest, but Ipswich don’t have the squad depth and quality that we have and we have already beaten Leicester to prove we can push them all the way.
The January transfer window is likely to have a big say on how the rest of the season goes with Leicester and Leeds likely to have plenty of interest in their players.
Warnock isn’t known for being a mystic Meg, regardless of how good he has been throughout his managerial career, so hopefully we can prove him wrong to have the last laugh.
