Tim Sherwood predicts Leeds United to win automatic promotion.
Well, Tim Sherwood has spoken on Leeds United’s chances of achieving automatic promotion from the Championship.
The former Aston Villa manager and Sky Sports pundit predicts that Leeds will finish in the top two of the Championship table this season and return to the Premier League.
Sherwood also mentioned how the Elland Road fans will assist the Leeds players finish the season strong.
Leeds recovered from a goal behind to defeat Leicester City 3-1 at Elland Road in the Championship on Friday evening. Connor Roberts scored one of the goals and was quite spectacular.
The West Yorkshire club is now second in the Championship table, with 72 points from 34 games. They are six points behind leaders Leicester and even with third-placed Ipswich Town. Southampton is in fourth place, with 67 points.
According to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Sherwood said on Saturday, “Amazing.” I watched that game last night, and they’re never coming back from it unless it’s for the home fans. They get behind them like you wouldn’t believe. We adore going there. It was one of the cup finals of the season for me, playing at Elland Road against such a loud crowd.
“I just think they were the assisters there last night, and I believe they are automatically promoted. I doubt anyone can catch Leicester for first place in the championship. But I am not convinced they are concerned about it.
“They want automatic promotion, and I believe that because of their support base, they will finish above Ipswich and Southampton. Southampton, listen, they fill their stadiums with both kinds of fans. But the support that they received last night was wonderful. Please give them back to the Premier League.”
