Leeds have been enjoying a positive season this term, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side currently topping the Championship table – one point ahead of second-placed West Brom and six ahead of third-placed Brentford.
Bielsa’s side has got just six games remaining of the Championship season, meaning that barring a catastrophic collapse in form, they look on course to go on and secure promotion to the Premier League for next season.
Their fourth-from-last fixture is the now-rescheduled clash with Swansea, meaning that the game could play a crucial part in their push for promotion, and the change to the fixture appears to have worried some Leeds fans.

Despite the pessimism of some of these Leeds fans, Bielsa’s side has been magnificent all throughout their 2019/20 campaign, as is evident by the fact that they currently sit at the top of England’s second-tier. This leads us to feel very confident that the Whites will indeed go on to secure promotion this season, regardless of the rescheduled fixture against Swansea.
Are you confident that Leeds United will earn promotion to the Premier League for next season?
