Leeds United Silence Relegation Talk with Remarkable Premier League Turnaround Under Daniel Farke
Leeds United have emphatically defied the pre-season predictions that tipped them for relegation, delivering a campaign that turned expectations on their head.
Daniel Farke’s side ultimately finished eight points clear of the drop zone, amassing 47 points — a total that equals the combined points haul of Leicester City and Ipswich Town, both newly promoted alongside them last season.
The transformation became even more evident after December 1, when a tactical shift to a three-centre-back system at Manchester City marked a turning point in their season. From that moment on, Leeds collected 36 points, a tally only surpassed by the traditional top six in the Premier League.
What began as a survival battle evolved into a statement season, with Leeds not only securing safety but also establishing themselves as one of the division’s most improved sides in the second half of the campaign.
