Leeds United can now look forward to a third consecutive season in the Premier League after securing their survival on the final day. After a season of struggles, Leeds were able to remain in the top-flight thanks to a 2-1 win over Brentford, overtaking Burnley who were defeated by Newcastle United.
The Whites will be desperate to avoid a repeat of the difficulties of this campaign and so planning for next season will already undoubtedly be underway. And Leeds fans will not have to wait too long, either, as in just over two weeks’ time (June 10) the transfer window is set to reopen. Just six days later on June 16, next season’s fixtures will be released at 9am.
In July, Leeds will then jet off to Australia for their pre-season tour, where they will face three fixtures in eight days against Brisbane Roar, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Then just over two weeks later on Saturday 6 August, the league will get underway again – a week earlier than last season due to the World Cup that takes place in November and December.
