Championship side Leeds United have officially secured a promotion to the Premier League for the first time since 2004.

The Peacocks's qualification became official after second-placed West Brom fumbled against Huddersfield on Friday by losing 2-1.

Atlthough they have had near misses since their relegation to the EFL Championship, Leeds will be returning to the top flight for the first time since 2004.

Leeds will now rely on Stoke to defeat Brentford on Saturday to clinch the league or otherwise with to get at least a point in their game at Derby on Sunday.
