Former England international Paul Parker believes Leeds United do not yet have a good enough squad to be competing in Premier League mid-table. Leeds currently sit 12th in the table, three points clear of the bottom three, which they occupied last month.
The Whites are looking for a much-improved campaign this time around after only narrowly beating survival on the final day of last season. In order to do so, Leeds brought in a number of new signings including Tyler Adams, Marc Roca, Brenden Aaronson and Luis Sinisterra in the hope of pushing up the table.
After a bright start, which conjured up seven points from their opening three matches, a winless run of eight matches prior to the historic win at Liverpool, has seen relegation fears resurface. Speaking in an interview with BeMyBet.com, Parker has no doubt that Leeds will be in and around the bottom three again due to their squad depth.

He said: “I think Leeds are going to be competing to stay up with that without a shadow of a doubt. They’re definitely going to be competing to stay up.
“They’re not going to be a comfortable mid-table because of their players. I don’t think they’re strong enough to do that, the way they play, the opportunities that they allow other teams to make against them.”
