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,...
Despite reports in the national media, the likelihood of England international Phillips making an Elland Road comeback are particularly slim, on account of the fact Leeds are not in a position to commit the necessary resources to signing such a player at this point in time. Sentimentality is all well and good but since Phillips left in a £42 million transfer two summers ago, plenty has changed at Elland Road, not least the ownership. 49ers Enterprises have taken majority control of the club and...
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...

In the meantime, here is a...
Manchester United set up another FA Cup final against fierce rival Manchester City in a way no one could ever have imagined. In a semifinal match on Sunday that will live long in the memory, United blew a three-goal lead against second-tier Coventry, was saved by the narrowest of offside
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...
Raphinha’s long-term future could see him back in England with reports suggesting a €60million (£51.2m) bid from a Premier League club has been rejected by Barcelona. Leeds United sold Raphinha to Barcelona in a deal worth around £50m in July 2022, following their final-day win over Brentford that secured top-flight survival. It has not been plain sailing for the Brazilian since, with the increased competition among wide forwards seeing minutes limited. Raphinha has knuckled down and come into...
Leeds United have the opportunity to get their promotion push back on track on Monday night when they travel to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. The Whites have won just one of their last five games in the Championship and they have seen their hopes of automatic promotion take a hit as a result.

Unfortunately for Phillips, though, while he has been given opportunities, he has...
