Leeds United major Championship stats 2019-20

Bengaluru, July 24: After nearly two decades away from the top flight, one of the biggest English clubs Leeds United are finally back to the English Premier League with the guidance of manager Marcelo Bielsa.

Leeds have not played in the English top-flight since 2004. In 2007, the club entered administration and were relegated to League One. They were promoted to the Championship in 2010. But the Yorkshire giants never gave up hope and were handed in a huge lifeline with the arrival of star manager Marcelo Bielsa in 2018.

The Whites were agonisingly close to obtaining their PL status last season but miss out on automatic promotion to Sheffield United by just six points. Then they lost the play-off round to Derby County to fight for another year in the Championship.

But the tactician did not lose heart and this season made sure they return to the top flight being the champions. Leeds have overall been the best team of Championship in terms of attack and defence. They rarely slipped up from the top position in the 46 league game campaign.
