Former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellew wants ‘big club’ Leeds United back in the Premier League.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side face a challenging play-off campaign having missed out on automatic promotion this season, with last weekend’s 1-1 home draw with Aston Villa confirming Sheffield United’s rise to the top flight.
The Blades were the second team to book their place in the Premier League for 2019/20, after Norwich sealed promotion the previous day.
Leeds are guaranteed of a place in the play-offs heading into this weekend’s final matchday, along with West Brom and Aston Villa.

There has been real praise directed at Leeds throughout the season, and many want to see them end their 15-year exile from the top flight – especially with the iconic Bielsa in charge.

Leeds visit relegated Ipswich on the final day hoping to secure a third place finish. Should they do so, Bielsa’s side will face off against sixth in the play-off semi-finals, hoping to reach the Wembley showpiece on June 1.
