Leeds United will make a long-overdue return to Match of the Day when the new season starts - and host Gary Lineker is can't wait to introduce them.
Marcelo Bielsa's side secured promotion back to the Premier League last night when West Brom stumbled to a 2-1 defeat at Huddersfield Town, mean a top-two place was secured for the Whites.
Their promotion comes 16 long years after they fell out of the top flight with the footballing cognoscenti queueing up to pay tribute to the job that Bielsa has done in West Yorkshire.
Former England striker Lineker is the latest to share his thoughts on Leeds' promotion, as he took to Twitter to mark the monumental day for the club.
"Congratulations to @LUFC on gaining promotion," he tweeted. "Look forward to introducing you on @BBCMOTD next season."
Leeds fans will now be able to enjoy highlights and analysis every Saturday night, with Bielsa's men set to be one of the biggest stories when the new season starts.
And you get the feeling Lineker will enjoy running the rule over the Whites, given his comments from Leeds' last terrestrial outing, when they turned more than a few heads at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal in January's FA Cup third round defeat.
He posted at the time: "If you didn’t know which the Premier League team was, you could be forgiven for thinking it was @LUFC."
Leeds are back in action on Sunday afternoon when they visit Derby County. Should Brentford drop points at Stoke on Saturday afternoon, Leeds will arrive at Pride Park as Champions. If not, a point will be enough to seal the trophy.
