Simon Jordan, former Crystal Palace owner and talkSPORT pundit, is confident that Leeds United will secure automatic promotion to the Premier League this season. After a challenging festive period, the team has shown outstanding form since the start of the year, scoring their ninth consecutive league win with a 3-1 victory over leaders Leicester City at Elland Road on Friday.
Despite an early lead by Leicester, Leeds fought back with an equalizing goal in the 80th minute and secured the win with two more goals in the final minutes of the game. This victory has moved them within six points of league leaders Leicester and maintained their level on points with third-placed Ipswich Town.
Following a recent decline in form for Southampton, Leeds has also gained a five-point lead over fourth-placed Southampton. Jordan is particularly impressed with the intimidating and inspiring atmosphere at Elland Road and foresees Leeds United’s success in the near future.
As Leeds prepares to face Premier League side Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round, their confidence is high, and they are targeting a record 10th consecutive win when they return to league action at Huddersfield Town. Jordan’s bold prediction may soon come true as Leeds United continues on their impressive winning streak.
