Leeds sit top of the table at Christmas, and Liverpool star is loving it.
James Milner has expressed his happiness after seeing former club Leeds United reach Christmas at the top of the Championship table.
Leeds beat another of his former sides Aston Villa yesterday, coming back from two goals down to win 3-2.
Milner’s Liverpool are top of the Premier League, and Leeds’ resurgence capped a brilliant first half of the season for the former England international.
Leeds handed Milner his debut as a teenager before being forced to sell him as their financial problems hit following relegation.
Milner’s message included a picture of the Premier League and Championship league tables side by side, with the accompanying message: “What a crowd at Villa Park What a comeback from Leeds ⚪ #doubletopatXmas #mot“
Milner won the Premier League with Manchester City and is hoping to do the same with Liverpool.
Leeds winning promotion would give something to think about, whether to return to his boyhood club.
Liverpool winning the league would make it easier to say goodbye to Anfield and move on for a fresh challenge, having achieved one goal.
