Leeds United's limited time in the Premier League over the past 20 years means they cannot be considered a favourite in their promotion battle with Leicester City and Southampton
Years spent in the Premier League over the past two decades should only emphasise how well Leeds United are doing to compete with Leicester City and Southampton. Daniel Farke laughed as he said what he had found when he compared the last 20 years in the top flight.
The average ages of the teams’ respective line-ups also ensure Leeds cannot be considered a favourite in this promotion race, Farke feels. The German, though, would not swap one of his players for his rivals’.“We are a pretty, pretty young side and sometimes this club is amazing,” said Farke. “We have one department where we are definitely one of the best sides in this league, if not the best side.
“I love this club already and I am ambitious. I told you what I want for this club in the mid and the long-term, but when I compare how many years we spent in the Premier League in the last 20 years, with the likes of Leicester or Southampton, you won’t label us as the big favourite.
