Leeds United are doing well in the Championship at the moment.

Former Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Bromwich Albion defensive midfielder Keith Andrews has been quoted as saying by The Express that it would be a good season for Leeds United if they finish in the top six of the Championship.

Leeds have not featured in the Premier League since 2004, and in recent years they had become also-rans in the Championship.

Things changed last season, though, as the Whites maintained their challenge for the playoffs until the final weeks before eventually finishing seventh.

The West Yorkshire outfit have started the 2017-18 campaign strongly and are in the race for a top-six finish in the Championship.

Leeds are fifth in the Championship table at the moment with 20 points from 11 matches.

Former Republic of Ireland international defensive midfielder Andrews believes that finishing in the top six would constitute a good season for Leeds.

“Overall, where they’re sitting in the league I think they can be very content with what they’ve done,” The Express quotes Andrews as saying about Leeds.

”I just felt when [Christiansen] took over he kept the formula that Gary Monk brought on board last season.

“He had to change it, obviously with Chris Wood going, but the likes of [Ezgjan] Alioski and [Samuel] Saiz coming in, they kept [Pablo] Hernandez and [Kemar] Roofe, they’ve still got good players but maybe they need to tweak it.

“Overall, if they can get plays-offs it’s a very, very good season after another summer of turbulence.”

Leeds will return to action on Saturday afternoon when they take on Reading at Elland Road in the Championship.
