Why Leeds must 'adapt' to avoid last promoted trio's fate
Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 12, 2025
Brian Deane has delivered big Leeds United backing on the club's Premier League prospects despite a ready admission upon his former side's promotion.
Daniel Farke's Whites are heading back to the country's top flight as Championship champions having beaten runners-up Burnley to the title on goal difference as both clubs amassed 100 points.
Despite their impressive points hauls, Deane admits that Leeds, Burnley and whoever goes up from the play-offs will be seen as favourites to go back down following this season's relegation of promoted trio Leicester City, Ipswich Town and Southampton.
The ex-Leeds striker also believes that United "adapting" their football against higher-level opposition and better players is a must.
