Former Leeds United striker Jermaine Beckford is confident they'll avoid the second season blues.

The Whites are heading into their second season back in the Premier League and will be hoping to build on their ninth-placed finish last term.

Leeds have made just two signings this summer in Junior Firpo and Jack Harrison, but Beckford believes Marcelo Bielsa's side are capable of improving on their previous campaign due to their style of play.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “I don't think there will be this second season syndrome. Maybe because you look at the manner in which Leeds United approach every single game. It's the same manner and it doesn't matter which players are in the team, the strategy, the formation, the style doesn't change. The energy doesn't change, the work rate doesn't change.

“So, with the exception of one or two players possibly getting injured or suspended, I don't see there being an issue at all. I don't."
