Seaman believes Leeds could end up overtaking Leicester in the title race, with the Whites thriving.
Leeds United supporter David Seaman believes his team will win the Championship title at the end of the season, speaking on the Seaman Says podcast (via MOT Leeds News).
The Whites have gone unbeaten in the league in 2024, with their only defeat this calendar coming in a narrow loss away at Chelsea in the FA Cup.
This reinforces just how good they have been in recent months, with Daniel Farke’s side’s form allowing them to close the gap on the top two and even climb into the automatic promotion zone ahead of Ipswich Town.

| Championship (1st-4th) | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (As of March 14th) | P | GD | Pts | |
| 1 | Leicester City | 37 | 41 | 82 |
| 2 | Leeds United | 37 | 40 | 79 |
| 3 | Ipswich Town | 37 | 25 | 78 |
| 4 | Southampton | 36 | 26 | 73 |
Southampton also went on an unbeaten run which lasted months, but their slip-ups have allowed the Whites to put themselves in a good position to secure a finish in the top two at the end of the campaign.
Their work certainly isn’t done yet, with just a point separating Leeds in second and Ipswich in third.
But they have a strong enough squad to fend off the Tractor Boys and ensure they are promoted back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
David Seaman’s promotion prediction on Leicester City, Leeds United and Southampton
Leicester City, who are the current league leaders, are also one of the favourites for promotion.
However, they have slipped up a number of times recently and are vulnerable at this point, with Leeds just three points behind them.
The Saints aren’t in the best position either, sitting in fourth place and not in the driving seat to secure a top-tier return.
