Leeds United won against Burton Albion in the Championship on Saturday.
Leeds United’s win against Burton Albion on Saturday afternoon has made it clear that they are genuine playoff contenders.
The Whites have not featured in the Premier League since 2004 and have been also-rans in the Championship over the past few seasons.
The 2016-17 campaign promises to be different, though, as there is a very good chance that the West Yorkshire outfit could get promoted.
The 2-0 victory over Albion at Elland Road on Saturday afternoon means that Leeds are now ninth in the Championship table with 23 points from 15 matches.
Garry Monk’s side are just a point behind Bristol City, who are currently sixth in the standings and occupy the final playoff spot.
Leeds’s chances of finishing in the top six can no longer be dismissed – the Whites are now genuine contenders for the playoffs.
True, a couple of defeats and a draw could make things look bleak, but the Whites have shown under Monk this season that they can recover from setbacks.
The West Yorkshire outfit had to wait until the 83rd minute to score against Albion, and that showed just how determined the players are.
