Neil Warnock has told TalkSPORT that although he believes Leeds United will get nervous about promotion, they should be playing Premier League football next term. 

Leeds are seven points clear inside the automatic promotion spots and currently sit at the top of the Championship standings.

The Whites are now in a commanding position to go on and achieve a return to the Premier League, but they have choked under pressure before.

And Warnock does believe that Marcelo Bielsa lacks a plan b, if things do start going wrong.

“It’s an amazing club Leeds, and they’ll fill the stadium. I hope they go up. Leeds fans deserve it,” Warnock said.

“The only thing about Leeds is that they are so nervous near the end and he [Bielsa] doesn’t seem to have a plan b. 

“He’s in a good position as I don’t think there’s a third team which is going to push them.”

Despite Bielsa’s supposed lack of a plan b, Leeds have still been the best team in the division so far this season.

So many teams have struggled to deal with Bielsa’s first choice plan that he hasn’t needed to deploy a back-up one too often.

The Championship is due to return on June 20th, when Leeds will want to hit the ground running to ensure that they don’t offer the likes of Fulham and Brentford any hope of catching them.
