Darren Bent has predicted that a “huge” club will fall short in the race for Premier League promotion, as Leeds United continue their strong push near the top of the Championship. Currently, Daniel Farke’s squad sits in third place after 15 games, just two points behind league leaders Sunderland and Sheffield United.

Leeds United fell short last season, settling for the Championship play-offs while Leicester City and Ipswich Town clinched automatic promotion. Now, Daniel Farke is under pressure to lead the Whites back to the Premier League.

On talkSPORT (11 November, 4:57 pm), Darren Bent stirred up the promotion race debate, saying: “There is a huge club which isn’t going up. You’ve got Sunderland, Sheffield United, Leeds, Burnley, West Brom, Watford… and Middlesbrough up there. Norwich are fourteenth! Someone huge is not making it.”

Leeds United: Are They on Track for Premier League Promotion?

With a strong position near the top of the Championship table, Leeds United’s chances of securing a return to the Premier League look promising. However, after last season’s heartbreak, fans remain cautiously optimistic, waiting to see if Daniel Farke can guide them back to the top flight.

Leeds United have learned from last season’s missed opportunities, where they failed to capitalize on slip-ups from Leicester and Ipswich, making costly mistakes of their own. However, this season feels different. With no clear front-runner in the Championship, Leeds are in a strong position to secure one of the automatic promotion spots.

Despite injuries to key players like Ethan Ampadu, Ilia Gruev, and Largie Ramazani, Daniel Farke’s side has continued to impress. Their resilience and strong performances so far in the league suggest that they may be able to push for promotion, even with these setbacks.

Leeds United were on an impressive eight-game unbeaten streak before a narrow 1-0 defeat to Millwall, but they bounced back with a crucial win over QPR just before the international break. With the Championship promotion race heating up, Leeds are determined to be on the right side of the battle this time around, aiming to secure a Premier League return. The competition is fierce, but Farke’s side has shown the resilience needed to stay in the hunt for promotion.
