In just 10 days' time, the regular Championship season will be over and we will know who has won the battle for promotion to the Premier League. Leicester City are in the driving seat, of course, with their 5-0 win over Southampton on Tuesday night putting them four points clear at the top of the division. Leeds United and Ipswich Town are hot on their tail, though, and over the next week and a half they'll be doing all they can to pick up the points they need to win automatic promotion and...
Leeds United have endured a torrid few weeks and could miss out on automatic promotion from the Championship as a result. A humbling 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on Friday stopped Daniel Farke’s side from pulling four points clear of Ipswich Town, who could now go second this evening if they take anything from Coventry City. United were top of the Championship during the March international break after an incredible 15-game unbeaten run saw them claw back 17 points on previous leaders...
Ipswich Town missed the chance to knock Leeds United out of the Championship's top two as they drew 3-3 with Hull City on Saturday night. The Whites' disappointing loss at QPR on Friday night left the door open for Ipswich to re-enter the automatic promotion spots and push Leeds down to third, but the point they picked up at the MKM Stadium wasn't enough for the Tractor Boys to take advantage. Ipswich remain third in the Championship, behind Leeds on goal difference alone, and that means Daniel...
‘Dirty Leeds’ was the insult so often thrown at Leeds United in the past but Daniel Farke’s men are anything but. The German has instilled a level-headedness into the squad during his first season in charge at Elland Road and that mindset has been beneficial throughout the campaign. Leeds have not lost a single player through suspension due to an accumulation of yellow cards, with only Joe Rodon and Illan Meslier banned after being sent off. Few teams can boast such an achievement and while...
Ipswich Town captain Sam Morsy is under no illusions that Saturday’s final-day clash against Huddersfield Town will be no walkover, insisting his side will run themselves ‘into the ground’ to beat Leeds United to automatic promotion. Ipswich put themselves firmly in the driving seat for a top-two finish after beating Coventry City 2-1 on Tuesday evening, with Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess on target for the away side. The Tractor Boys are now three points clear of Leeds with just one game...
Someone in the employ of a club once quipped to local journalists that they would all soon be out of jobs if the wins kept coming. As light-hearted as it was intended, that joke actually showed a fundamental misunderstanding of how this all works because the very opposite is true, for a number of reasons. Our industry is no longer measured in paper sales but in other, digitally-centered metrics, yet it remains a fact that people want to read your stuff when a club is flourishing. Simply put,...
Conor Chaplin insists Ipswich Town continue to play without fear as their promotion battle with Leeds United and Leicester City heats up. Ipswich have done a magnificent job in keeping pace with their automatic promotion rivals, given they only came up from League One last season while Leeds and Leicester dropped down from the Premier League. Kieran McKenna’s side fell out of the top-two after Leeds beat Middlesbrough 4-3 on Monday but fate remains in their hands. Pressure could soon be heaped...
Leicester City winger Stephy Mavididi is the latest to take aim at Leeds United with a bizarre late-night social media post, following his side’s Championship title win. Enzo Maresca’s side secured the title after beating Preston North End 3-0 on Monday, with Jamie Vardy at the double before Kasey McAteer secured the victory. The Foxes had already seen automatic promotion secured following United’s crushing 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on Friday evening. Leicester saw their path to the...
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna never expected to be involved in a promotion race but now looks set to pip Leeds United to a top-two finish in the Championship, following Tuesday’s massive win at Coventry City. Ipswich took a massive step towards their second automatic promotion in as many seasons after beating Coventry City 2-1 at the CBS Arena. Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess were on hand for the Tractor Boys, scoring either side of half-time. Haji Wright’s drilled effort cancelled out...
Daniel Farke’s Whites offered a massive opening to autos rivals Ipswich Town as Friday night’s clash at Queens Park Rangers ended in a 4-0 loss for United’s heaviest league defeat of the season. The big setback left Leeds just one point clear of third-placed Ipswich in the division’s second automatic promotion spot but with Kieran McKenna’s side having two games in hand. The first of those arrived on Saturday evening at Hull City where a win would have taken Ipswich second and two points above...
Leeds United’s automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town have a new injury concern over a star man on the back of Saturday evening’s 3-3 draw at Hull City. Former Leeds youngster Leif Davis has continually excelled for Kieran McKenna’s side this season, the 24-year-old named in the Championship team of the year and the only Tractor Boys player to be included in that XI. Left back Davis made his 41st league start of the season in Saturday evening’s huge clash at Hull but the defender rolled his...
