Leeds will be entirely focused on what they can control but in order to ensure they enter the final week of the regular season with their promotion fate in their own...
Sunderland play Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday in the Championship before taking on Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light the following week in their last game of the 2023-24 campaign.

Despite Sunderland’s dull end to the season,...

Leeds won’t want to give second place back to Ipswich ahead of next weekend’s final games, but even with a win on Friday night, if Ipswich win...
Crysencio Summerville has urged his Leeds United teammates to ‘enjoy every moment’ of what looks set to be the tightest Championship promotion race in recent memory. Leeds put themselves back into the automatic promotion places with a hard-fought and dramatic 4-3 win at Middlesbrough on Monday evening, with key man Summerville netting a clinical brace to bookend efforts from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. The Dutchman slotted home from the penalty spot to put his side level at 1-1 before a...
Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville have picked out a Leeds United pair in who to look out for from the Whites Academy. Gray and Summerville were part of the Leeds representation at this season’s EFL Awards where Summerville was named the Championship’s player of the year and Gray the division’s young player of the year.

Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor insists his side can ‘definitely’ claim the second automatic promotion place ahead of Leeds United - but the Tractor Boys are not getting too carried away with two more games to play. Kieran McKenna’s side can climb back into second if they take anything from Coventry City this evening, with Saturday’s dramatic 3-3 draw at Hull City pulling them level on points with Leeds, having played a game less. Coventry cannot make a late push for play-offs and so have...
The Whites went into the game knowing it could transfer all the pressure onto Ipswich Town, and yet they themselves crumbled under the weight of the occasion and a fine performance from the hosts. Here's the YEP take as the fate of the top two was passed into the hands of others. Good day Queens Park Rangers, Leicester City and Ipswich Town. There wasn't anyone of a Leeds United association who could stick their hand in the air and say they'd done all they could or even done themselves justice...
Leeds United take on QPR this evening in a clash that can only be deemed a must win for the Whites. A result in west London will take Daniel Farke's side four points clear of third placed Ipswich Town, for 24 hours at the very least, and that would certainly pile the pressure on the Tractor Boys. A draw or a loss and Leeds will have left the door open for Ipswich, who have a game in hand, to knock them out of the top two altogether heading into the final week of the season. It's as simple as...

Joel Piroe's struggle for consistent game time in a Leeds United shirt is to blame for the lack of confidence he showed against QPR. That's the belief of former White, turned BBC Radio Leeds pundit, Jon Newsome after watching the Dutchman struggle to get a foothold in the contest at Loftus Road. With Patrick Bamford missing the clash due to injury, Piroe returned to the Whites’ starting line-up on Friday night in what was a must win game for Daniel Farke's side. The 24-year-old more than...
Goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky doesn't anticipate Ipswich Town having 'big troubles' as they push to secure automatic promotion from the Championship. The Tractor Boys are without a win in three in the league, having drawn their last two games against Middlesbrough and Watford after their demoralising derby defeat to Norwich City. As such, their inactivity over the weekend, due to Coventry City's FA Cup commitments, has allowed others to knock them off their perch in the Championship. Leicester City...
Leeds United returned to winning ways on Monday night at Middlesbrough to move back into the top two. Leeds have the opportunity to consolidate that position on Friday night when they travel to face QPR for what is their final away game of the season. A win at Loftus Road would take Leeds four points clear of Ipswich in the league table and while Kieran McKenna's side will have two games in hand by that point, the pressure will well and truly be on. Leeds can only focus on themselves, of...
