As for Daniel Farke’s men, they need to win to remain in with a real shot of automatic promotion, currently just one point ahead of Ipswich Town but having played a game more. 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...
Leeds United face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in the Sky Bet
Leeds United take on Queens Park Rangers away from home on Friday evening,
Marti Cifuentes has taken the opportunity to stress to his players that QPR are not safe from relegation just yet. The west London outfit are 18th in the Championship table at present but they remain just four points above the relegation zone. Of course, it would take a big turnaround for the Hoops to drop into the bottom three over the final two weekends of the season, but mathematically it remains a possibility heading into tonight's fixture with Leeds United at Loftus Road. As such, the...
Ally McCoist believes Leeds United must take maximum points from their final three games if they are to achieve automatic promotion. Leeds need to make up ground on at least one of Ipswich Town or Leicester City, who currently occupy the Championship’s top-two places, after recent slip-ups threw away the chance to take control of the promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side are winless in three and can count themselves fortunate that others have also faltered. Leeds are two points behind Ipswich and...
Carlos Sainz's manager, Carlos Oñoro, is "still playing the game" as he
Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say on tonight’s clash at the Riverside including agreement on a key selection issue in the front line, a trio call, legend’s advice and a Whites must. NEIL GREWER If Leeds are to have any hope of automatic promotion then a win in this game will be vital. Middlesbrough are in good form and are seeking to finish the season strongly – and will be going for the win. This could be to our advantage as Boro will certainly not be employing the...
Leeds United's hopes of automatic promotion took a huge blow on Friday night at QPR. It was a performance that failed to inspire and the result leaves Leeds needing results elsewhere to go their way over the next week. It's not over yet, of course, but if Ipswich Town win their two games in hand it will be. The Whites are now at the mercy of the Tractor Boys results and they'll be praying Kieran McKenna's side fall short at Hull City this evening and again against Coventry City on Tuesday...
Junior Firpo has issued a “better side” Leeds United challenge with a Whites results admission and virus update. Left-back Firpo helped Leeds to a huge 4-3 win at Monday night’s Championship hosts Middlesbrough, after which he revealed that he battled through a recent bout of sickness and fever, declaring that he was on the verge of throwing up in the second half. Victory at Boro, where Firpo provided two assists, put Daniel Farke’s Whites back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places...
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...
