The 18-year-old does not need a window into the psyche of the fanbase right now because he is one of them, born into a family that is Elland Road furniture. A rock steady character, moulded in part by his upbringing, the Leeds in Gray makes itself known from time to time. Going after Kyle McFadzean on Saturday after an off-the-ball block was one of a number of times the youngster has got right in the face of opponents this season. His celebrations of the goal against Leicester, before it was...

Fans have reacted angrily to the listing of tickets for the Championship season finale on May 4 on various resale websites, at prices ranging from £380 to £470. Leeds remain in the hunt for automatic promotion and though Saints suffered a damaging 5-0 defeat by leaders Leicester City on Tuesday night, the final game of the campaign could still hold huge consequences for either side's Premier League dream. Leeds supporters recently shared screengrabs on social media of their attempts to get their...
Leeds United owners 49ers Enterprises have made no secret of their desire to redevelop Elland Road and increase its capacity in the not too distant future. Chairman Paraag Marathe confirmed stadium improvements were high on the agenda when the American consortium completed their takeover of the Whites last summer and it now seems as though the wheels are beginning to creak into motion. That's according to a report by i, which claims the club have held fresh talks with stakeholders within the...
The Saints have sold out their allocation for their games at both Leicester City, on Tuesday April 23, and the May 4 visit to West Yorkshire. Fourth-placed Southampton have won their last three league outings to put pressure on the top three of Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich Town. Russell Martin’s men sit three points behind third-placed Leeds with a game in hand, but with an inferior goal difference. Leeds, though, are winless in three, just like leaders Ipswich, while the Foxes have won one of...
To say Leeds United supporters have got behind Daniel Farke’s promotion push this season would be an understatement. Elland Road has been sold out most weeks with fans snapping up any available tickets to watch the Whites in Championship action and loudly cheer them on. Leeds have managed to use that vociferous support to their advantage, too, going unbeaten on home soil over the course of the campaign, prior to last Saturday’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers. Elland Road might be one of the biggest...
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean admits he is rooting for Leeds United in the Championship promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side have it all to do at present with a run of just one win in five leaving them two points adrift of the current top two pace in the second tier ahead of their Monday night clash with Middlesbrough. United know that three points against Boro will be enough to see them leapfrog Ipswich Town and claim second spot. However, games in hand complicate the situation...

News of the 26-year-old’s torn abdominal muscle came to light following Leeds’ 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night and will keep the Wales international from playing any part in United’s penultimate fixture of the season versus QPR this Friday. It is doubtful the Leeds speedster will be passed fit to face Southampton on the final day either, due to the nature of his injury, however United’s medical staff will pay close attention to the player’s condition over the coming days to determine...
Southampton manager Russell Martin doesn't expect first-choice goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu to play again this season. Bazunu had played every minute of every league game for the Saints prior to Tuesday's rearranged clash with Preston North End. However, the Republic of Ireland international picked up an Achilles injury in the warm-up at St Mary's Stadium and probably won't feature again this season. Bazunu's injury opened the door for Alex McCarthy to make his first Championship appearance of the...
