Leeds United seems unstoppable in their quest for promotion to the Premier League. Their come-from-behind victory over Sunderland on Monday evening, thanks to two late goals from centre-half Pascal Struijk, further solidified their undefeated streak at home since September 15. With a seven-point lead over Burnley in the automatic promotion race, United’s promotion seems almost inevitable.
Despite their success, broadcaster Jeff Stelling believes Leeds will need to strengthen their attacking options if they want to compete in the Premier League. Stelling praised their relentless performance against Sunderland but highlighted a lack of creative spark. With big games against Sheffield United and West Brom on the horizon, the mental boost from the win will be crucial.
Former striker Troy Deeney echoed Stelling’s sentiments about Elland Road, emphasizing the intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams. While acknowledging Leeds’ strong season and likely promotion, Deeney emphasized the need for reinforcements to thrive in the top flight. Despite their current success, the jump to the Premier League will require additional quality to sustain their momentum.
