Prediction: 17th
Leeds looked like they would struggle early on, but manager Daniel Farke turned it around, so both he and his players deserve great credit.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin proved a very shrewd signing on a free transfer from Everton, while, as expected, the Elland Road bearpit played its part.
If there was a disappointment, it was the timid performance in the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea at Wembley.
The main mission, however, was Premier League safety and that was achieved with something to spare.
What I said in August: “Someone has got to buck the growing trend of ‘three up, three straight back down’ from the Championship’s promoted sides, so I am going to say Leeds will break that glass ceiling.”
