Leeds United are closing in on the end of their 2023/24 Championship campaign with only four games remaining to determine whether they go up automatically or face the play-offs. A run of one win in four has seen Daniel Farke’s side drop out of the top two but points dropped elsewhere means they are within touching distance of Ipswich Town and Leicester City. Leeds host Blackburn Rovers on Saturday afternoon and can climb back into the top-two, even if only for a few hours before Ipswich host...
Sunderland are preparing for their Championship match against Leeds United at Elland Road - and interim head coach boss Mike Dodds held his pre-match press conference today. The Black Cats were held to a goalless draw against Bristol City on Saturday, with five league games remaining this season. Leeds are still in the hunt for automatic promotion but missed the chance to move top of the table when they were beaten 2-1 by Coventry on Saturday. Here’s what was said at the Academy of Light as...
Sunderland are preparing for their Championship match against Leeds United at Elland Road – with players unavailable for both sides. The Black Cats were held to a goalless draw with Bristol City on Saturday, despite creating more than enough chances to win the game. Leeds remain in the hunt for automatic promotion but were beaten 2-1 at Coventry last time out. Here’s the latest Sunderland and Leeds United injury and team news ahead of Tuesday’s meeting at Elland Road:
Borussia Monchengladbach sporting director Roland Virkus has suggested that Leeds United will not budge on their valuation of the on-loan Max Wober. Wober was one of several Leeds players to force an exit from Elland Road last summer due a clause in his contract, following relegation from the Premier League. The Austrian was initially tipped as one to potentially remain but interest from a top-flight German side turned his head and a move to Monchengladbach was swiftly secured. Since joining...
A new five-year deal between Sky Sports and the English Football League (EFL) will see all midweek matches shown live, meaning Leeds United could be on television more than ever if they remain in the Championship. Leeds have been almost ever-present on TV screens this season, with a total of 32 games selected for live broadcast over the season including all of the final four league games. That number matches the previous record for the club, set in the 2018/19 season - barring the 2020/21...
When it comes to their hopes of winning automatic promotion back to the Premier League, Leeds United have reached the do or die period of the Championship season. The Whites are currently third in the table, one point behind Leicester City and two behind league leaders Ipswich Town with just three games left to play. To give themselves the best chance of going up automatically, Daniel Farke's side know they must pick up maximum points from hereon in. That starts on Monday night when the Whites...
Whites captain Liam Cooper has paid an emotional tribute to his teammate and best friend Stuart Dallas with a vow and final four aim upon the star’s imminent retirement. United’s promotion-winning Northern Ireland international star Dallas announced this week that he would be retiring at the end of the season having not played since suffering a femoral fracture against Manchester City back in April 2022. Leeds will pay tribute to Dallas during today’s Championship hosting of Blackburn Rovers,...
Saturday was one of those, because Ipswich Town lost, and yet so too did Leeds thanks to a largely underwhelming performance against a good Coventry City side and a couple of notable missed opportunities in front of goal. Tuesday night was one too, because Leicester City lost. Leeds did not, they drew 0-0 with Sunderland, yet some of the reaction to the result would have suggested otherwise. Leeds are entering the final four games of the season with one win in their last four, or one defeat in...
Sunderland face Leeds United in the Championship on Tuesday evening. The Whites are pushing for promotion back to the Premier League whereas the Black Cats’ season is fizzling out. Leeds’ 2-1 defeat against Coventry on Saturday was their first league defeat since December and Daniel Farke’s side haven’t lost at home in the Championship this season, winning 16 and drawing four, with promotion to the Premier League on the line. Ahead of the clash, we take a look at everything you need to know...
Sunderland will travel to face Leeds United on Tuesday night without Nazariy Rusyn, Mike Dodds has confirmed. The Black Cats make the trip to West Yorkshire this week on the back of a 0-0 draw with Bristol City over the weekend, which was seen as a huge improvement in terms of performance after starting last week with a 5-1 hammering against Blackburn Rovers. As such, they will arrive at Elland Road with a degree of confidence, but as they look for just their second win since mid-February,...
Leeds United have been served a slice of relief after Saturday’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers with a star helping the Whites but a new issue presenting itself. Leeds had the chance to move back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places and potentially top of the division in Saturday’s lunchtime hosting of Blackburn after defeat for Leicester City in Friday night’s clash at Plymouth Argyle. Instead, Daniel Farke’s side fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat which left them in third place and...
Bamford's return to the Leeds lineup at the start of 2024 coincided with an upturn in form, both individually and as a collective, as the 2020 Championship promotion-winner hit a purple patch in front of goal. The experienced attacker scored important goals against Birmingham City, Cardiff City, Peterborough United in the FA Cup, Norwich City and Rotherham United before missing a couple of games mid-February through injury. Upon returning to the starting XI, Bamford hit the goals trail again,...
