Ex-Leeds United striker makes relegation prediction, Whites loanee lifts lid on Marcelo Bielsa

Former Leeds United striker makes relegation prediction

Ex-Whites attacker Brian Deane has backed Marcelo Bielsa' s side to survive this year's Premier League relegation battle.

United are currently six points clear of the drop zone with a game in hand over 18th-placed Norwich City.

But Deane, who scored 45 goals in 201 appearances for Leeds, thinks the strength of Bielsa's squad will see them through.

"I think they’ll beat the drop this season, they’ve got too much quality," said Deane.

"There’s three teams that are worse than them.

"It’s exciting watching Leeds as you know every man is going to give 100 per cent and some of the football they play is amazing.

"But it’s going to be tight.

"I just hope they have enough legs and enough quality to see them over the line."
