Leeds United has impressed in their return to the Premier League, showing promise of surviving in the top flight. They have outperformed some established teams early on, accumulating seven points in five games – a solid start for a newly promoted team.
At the beginning of the season, Leeds, Burnley, and Sunderland were expected to struggle, but they have defied expectations with strong performances. The Stick to Football gang noted the struggles of Aston Villa and Brentford, while pointing out that traditional Premier League sides like West Ham and Wolves are languishing at the bottom of the table.
Jamie Carragher believes that Leeds and other promoted teams are causing fear among their rivals, potentially changing the dynamic of the league this season. Managers of struggling teams are feeling the pressure, with relegation fears looming larger than before. The strong start of Leeds and other promoted teams has raised questions about the future of struggling Premier League sides.
