Daniel Farke must continue to manage his own emotions and keep himself in check over the remainder of the Championship season, says Tony Pulis. With just two more games to play over the regular season, Leeds United find themselves sitting inside the top two and that's where they'll hope to stay come May 4. Wins over QPR on Friday and Southampton on the final day of the campaign will give them the best chance of doing that, but as it stands, their fate is not in their own hands. Leicester City...
It's the final day of the Championship season and there's still so much to
Former Leeds United boss Simon Grayson has highlighted the positive side of his former side missing out on the playoffs. The Whites lost at home to Southampton on the final day, but the defeat didn’t matter anyway, with Ipswich Town securing promotion to the Premier League by taking care of business at home to Huddersfield Town, as expected. Daniel Farke’s men have led the automatic promotion chase at times, but they blew a number of opportunities down the final stretch and will have to settle...
Liam Cooper has made a Leeds United promotion bid promise in sizing up the final day visit of Southampton and the damaging defeat at QPR. Daniel Farke’s Whites were dealt a hammer blow in their quest for automatic promotion in last weekend’s clash at Queens Park Rangers in which a 4-0 defeat paved the way for Ipswich to jump above Leeds into second. United must now hope that Ipswich end their season with defeat at home to final day visitors Huddersfield Town and also take three points themselves...
Leeds United were left stunned on Friday when they were handed a shock 4-0 defeat by 17th-placed Queens Park Rangers. Despite holding the lion’s share of possession and attempting 15 shots towards goal, Daniel Farke’s side simply couldn’t find a way though and left Loftus Road with a mauling. Leeds are now at serious risk of missing out on a top two finish, as Ipswich Town are seriously threatening to unravel their efforts this season. The Tractor Boys are currently level on 90 points with the...
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...
Leicester City boss Enzo Maresca doesn't care whether his side finish first or second in the Championship, just as long as they win automatic promotion. The Foxes are now on the brink of an immediate return to the Premier League after thrashing promotion rivals Southampton 5-0 at the King Power Stadium on Tuesday night. Abdul Fatawu bagged a hat-trick on the night, while Wilfred Ndidi and Jamie Vardy also found the back of the net as Leicester cut loose to assert their dominance on the...
Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion have reportedly identified Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna as a potential candidate to replace Roberto De Zerbi this summer. De Zerbi has been linked with a number of jobs this season and while he is contracted until 2026, there is some doubt about whether he will opt to stay on at the Amex Stadium into next season. As such, Brighton have been working behind the scenes to identify managers who could potentially replace the Italian this summer...
With one regular season fixture remaining, it’s fair to say Leeds United’s chances of winning automatic promotion look slim. It’s still a possibility but in order to sneak into the top two, they need to beat Southampton on the final day and hope Huddersfield Town beat Ipswich Town at Portman Road. As such, it seems more likely that Leeds will be going down the play-off route and while the Whites don’t have the best play-off record, they’ll surely fancy their chances of getting over the line at...
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...
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...
Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan hopes to see Ipswich Town promoted to the Premier League - an outcome that would almost certainly mean former club Leeds United missing out. Leeds and Ipswich look set to go head-to-head for the second automatic promotion place, following Leicester City’s commanding 5-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side need just three points to secure a top-two finish, with that victory virtually condemning the Saints to a play-off place due...
