Leeds United fans have been through plenty in recent years and May’s play-off loss to Derby confirmed another season of Championship football. If you’re counting - and Leeds fans would rather you didn’t - their last home game in the
Premier League was in May 2004. That was a 3-3 draw with Charlton ... after they’d led 3-1 with 11 minutes left.
But keeping Marcelo Bielsa for another promotion bid lifted the mood and Leeds were installed as clear favourites to go up as champions. They shortened further in the betting after an impressive 3-1 win at Bristol City last weekend and, thanks to good old goal difference, they’ve already hit top spot.
