Leeds United fans have gone viral on social media after a mass sing-along to the Kaiser Chief’s ‘I Predict A Riot’ following their victory over Leicester yesterday (February 23) in the Championship.
A post from Leeds United’s official social media account on X/Twitter captured the moment following the club’s victory over Leicester in a video that’s now been viewed over two million times since the post appeared yesterday evening after the game.
An unexpected comeback in the final 10 minutes of the match saw Leeds pull off a 3-1 win, having trailed behind the Championship leaders since the 15th minute of the game and a goal from Wout Faes.
Subsequent goals from Connor Roberts, Archie Gray and Patrick Bamford secured victory for Leeds atĀ Elland Road, something that resulted in Leeds fans bouncing up and down as they belted out the Kaiser Chief’s classic. The win means the team move just six points behind Leicester, who are the current league leaders.
The band’s frontman Ricky Wilson is a Leeds fan, and the band also reacted to the fans on social media, sharing Leeds United’s post with some high-five emojis. Check out the moment and the reaction here:

Meanwhile, Kaiser Chiefs are set to release āKaiser Chiefsā Easy Eighth Albumā on March 1 (pre-order/pre-save here). They shared the latest single from the project, āBurning In Flamesā, last month.
The group will also embark on a UK headline tour this spring ā you can find any remaining tickets here.
Frontman Wilson also recentlyĀ recalled the past insults heās received from Mark E. Smith and Oasis.
Speaking to NME as part of our āDoes Rock āNā Roll Kill Braincells?!ā quiz, Wilson correctly guessed that the late Fall icon Smith once said āthe Kaiser Chiefs and Arctic Monkeys should open a chain of chip shops in North Yorkshireā.
Responding to the dig almost two decades on, Wilson told NME: āI respect and admire Mark E. Smith a lot, and Iād respect and admire him a lot less if he respected me!āĀ He continued: āSo well done Mark E, RIP. You know what though, nobody ever said that he should have opened a tent company called Marquee Smiths.ā
He went on to remember that he has previously āmet upā with Oasis, ābut we havenāt laughed about old pops theyāve had at meā in reference to past jibes from both Liam and Noel Gallagher.Ā
Wilson added: ā[Iām] not the kind of guy who would confront Liam Gallagher about the things heās said about me in the past, because Iām sure heās forgotten most of them and I donāt care.
āWould I like to be his friend? Definitely. Do I think I could be? Probably not. I think heās very good at being hilarious. I donāt think heās ever tried to be hurtful towards me ā and long may he reign in his hilarity.ā
