Leeds United return to the Premier League full of confidence after clinching the Championship title with 100 points. With a trio of pre-season friendlies lined up and several new signings joining the squad, Daniel Farke’s side begin their push to defy recent history and stay up.
Leeds United are back in the Premier League, after winning the EFL Championship last time round, ending the season with 100 points, snatching the title on the final day thanks to Manor Solomon's stoppage time winner against Plymouth Argyle at Home Park.
Now, after all three promoted clubs have been relegated in both of the last two seasons, the challenge for Daniel Farke's side is to change that, and the Whites will have a trio of high-profile pre-season friendlies as they step-up their preparations.
Supporters can get a first glimpse of new signings Jaka Bijol, Lukas Nmecha, Sebastiaan Bornauw and Gabriel Gudmundsson against their fierce historic rivals in Solna on Saturday.
