Leeds United could be in the Championship’s automatic promotion places by the end of the day but must overcome an in-form Middlesbrough to do so. Daniel Farke’s side currently sit third and need to gain two points on Ipswich Town if they want to avoid the play-offs. Form has been patchy at best for Leeds but with just three games remaining, there can be no more slip-ups and victory at the Riverside Stadium could prove crucial. Ahead of kick-off, The YEP has rounded up some of the latest stories...
Viktor Johansson, the former Sheffield United transfer target, is expected to leave Rotherham United this summer, Millers manager Steve Evans has admitted, after their drop from the Championship. The Swedish international is available for a reduced fee, thought to be around £750,000 initially, thanks to a relegation release clause in his contract. Widely regarded as one of the best shot-stoppers in the second tier Johansson is going to be a man in demand this summer, with Leeds United and Stoke...
The game will be a repeat of last year's Manchester derby,. The Met have taken an increasingly cautious approach to football in recent years. If Erik ten Hag wins the FA Cup with Man United, does he deserve to keep his job?

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. The Black Cats, who are currently under the stewardship of interim head coach Mike Dodds, lost 1-0 to Millwall at home last time out and have seen their season fizzle out with the play-offs out of reach whilst mathematically safe of the relegation places. Despite Sunderland’s dull end to the season,...
Leeds United's Patrick Bamford is tipping Kalvin Phillips to bounce back next season and dish out a firm reminder of his talents. It would be something of an understatement to say Phillips' time at West Ham United has not gone to plan. The Leeds-born midfielder joined the Hammers on loan in January in the hope of picking up much-needed minutes after struggling to catch the eye of Man City boss Pep Guardiola. Unfortunately for Phillips, though, while he has been given opportunities, he has...
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 German, whose side returned to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday night to keep the pressure on their fellow promotion hopefuls, was expecting a busy day of preparation for Friday's visit to London. Leeds will face Queens Park Rangers in the first game of the weekend and have the opportunity to put a four-point gap between themselves and Ipswich, who play at Hull City on Saturday. Leicester, meanwhile, could stretch their own lead over Farke's men to four...
The Manchester United manager was not happy in the slightest with the media's portrayal of his team's FA Cup progression against Coventry City
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...
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...
