The former Tottenham Hotspur and Aston Villa striker believes that Leeds will comfortably stay up, as quoted in The Daily Mail.
The Whites will play in the Premier League this season after wining automatic promotion from the Championship at the end of the 2019-20 campaign.
Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton has also given his take on Leeds in The Daily Mail.
Crouch mentioned 10th as the league finish for Leeds in GiveMeSport.
Crouch wrote in The Daily Mail: “He (Marcelo Bielsa) has given the people of Leeds the thing they have craved for 16 years and they will be one of the stories of the season. I believe they will comfortably stay up and can see them taking a couple of big scalps.”
Sutton wrote in The Daily Mail: “Leeds play in an extremely positive way with plenty of energy. They like to keep the ball — no Championship club averaged a higher possession than their 64.25 per cent last season. But that style does have its dangers, especially at this level.
“Premier League clubs can punish you if you aren’t up to it. Let’s see if they can do a Sheffield United, or if they join the long list of clubs who made it to the Premier League only to be sent straight back.”
Hype and expectation
Leeds will play in the Premier League this season for the first time since 2004, and there is a lot of hype and expectation around the club.
The Whites are one of the biggest clubs in England and have a world-class head coach in Marcelo Bielsa.
The West Yorkshire outfit also have a very good team, and they recently signed Spain international Rodrigo and Germany international Robin Koch.
While it is hard to see Leeds challenge for the European places this season, the Elland Road faithful will expect the team not to get involved in the relegation dogfight.
