Leeds United return to EPL for first time in 16 years after West Brom lose

Leeds United have been promoted to the English Premier League for the first time in 16 years, after West Bromwich Albion lost on Friday.

Leeds' place in England's top-flight for the 2020-2021 season was confirmed after West Brom lost 2-1 at Huddersfield Town and they will be crowned second-tier champions if third-placed Brentford do not beat Stoke on Saturday or Marcelo Bielsa's side then take a point from Sunday's visit to Derby County.

Bielsa has led Leeds to promotion in his second season in charge after they finished third in the 2018-2019 campaign and lost out in the play-offs.

The 2001 UEFA Champions League semi-finalists have fought their way back following relegation from the Premier League in 2004, and they even dropped to England's third tier in 2007 having been placed into administration.
