Ex-Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino eyes EFL return as pundit outlines promotion nerves fear

Leeds United know nothing less than three points will do on Saturday when they take on Blackburn Rovers at Elland Road. The Whites have picked up just one point from their last two games and they simply need to see off the Lancashire side this weekend if they're to get their promotion push back on track. It's a clash steeped in pressure, with Blackburn at risk of relegation at the other end of the table, but Leeds have the opportunity to pile the pressure on their promotion rivals.

Cellino spent three years in charge of Leeds United, purchasing the club in February 2014 and eventually selling to Andrea Radrizzani in May 2017. He went through seven different managers in that time with his last appointment being Garry Monk. Leeds United are starting to feel the nerves of the promotion battle, according to former England international Danny Murphy. The Whites have dropped five Championship points over the last week and find themselves outside the top two as a result.
