Leeds United are currently in the top six in the Championship table.

Alan Curbishley has told Football on 5, which was broadcast on 7th November, that ‘anything could happen’ at Leeds United now they have made it into the top six.

Leeds are in their highest position for a number of years, after a wonderful run of form has guided them up the Championship table.

Leeds beat Norwich City 3-2 at Carrow Road last weekend, as they secured their ninth win in their last 12 matches in all competitions.

And Curbishley said: “Everyone talks about Leeds and their fans. If they do break into the top six, and it suddenly catches alight up there, anything could happen up there.”

Leeds actually began the season slowly, but in recent weeks they have been exceptional.

The Whites have the third best record in the Championship over the last 10 games, and optimism is increasing at Elland Road.

Leeds’s win over Norwich proved their promotion credentials, but they will be hoping the international break does not halt their momentum.

The Whites are not in action for another two weekends, with many of their squad travelling to represent their countries.

Leeds’ next match comes against league leaders Newcastle United at Elland Road, in what will be a real test of the quality in their squad.
