'I think Leeds will stay up' - Smith
- Published
"I don't think all three promoted teams will go back down because I think Leeds will stay up," said The Observer's Rory Smith on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club.
For the last two seasons all promoted sides have all been relegated from the Premier League but Smith believes this season could be different because of the way Leeds have recruited.
He also cites Brentford and Wolves look weaker so could suffer a confidence crisis and give Leeds - and one other - an opportunity to capitalise upon.
"Leeds won't struggle for goals because they have the quality in attack to hurt teams and win games," said Smith. "Daniel Farke has clearly tried to add solidity and experience and Sean Longstaff is a great signing.
"They have added a bit of grizzle to their mix and that is important."
