Leeds United told how they can easily seal Championship glory by Sky Sports pundit

Sky Sports pundit Danny Higginbotham believes Leeds United have the capability to comfortably win the Championship this season - if they improve their return in front of goal.

Marcelo Bielsa's side suffered a dip in recent weeks in the league, losing to Charlton Athletic and Swansea City, as well as being held to a draw by Derby County, but were able to return to the top of the table after beating West Brom on Tuesday night.

That means Bielsa's side are still ranked as firm favourites to lift the title this season and seal a long-awaited return to the Premier League.

In fact, Higginbotham believes that the objective can be achieved comfortably if Bielsa can improve the effectiveness of his side in front of goal, something that also proved to be troublesome last term.

"The one thing I would say about Leeds is if they were more decisive in front of goal, they would win this league by ten points," Higginbotham told Sky Sports.

"I think they are that good. The biggest problem is those missed chances when they are leading. It's just the final third where they need to be more clinical.

"Losing Roofe was big. He was a big part of the way that Bielsa likes to play."
