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...
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...
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...
Leeds United were thumped 4-0 away at QPR on Friday night in a big dent to their automatic promotion hopes from the Championship. The Whites’ defeat has left Ipswich Town in the driving seat and has confirmed Leicester City’s return to the Premier League at the first time of asking. Daniel Farke’s side will be hoping for favours from Hull City and Coventry City against the Tractor Boys as they prepare for their final day clash against Southampton at home next weekend. In the meantime, here is a...
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,...
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...
Latest Man United transfer news and gossip with updates on Crystal Palace star Michael Olise and Juventus defender Gleison Bremer
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. But they know that picking up maximum points over their remaining three games would give them a very good chance of claiming a spot in the top two come May 4. The pressure is building and...
At 22 years of age Summerville is rightly considered among the Championship's brightest young talents. On Sunday he won the division's Player of the Season award but this is his first ever season as a first team regular starter. He was certainly present last season in the Premier League, but started just 12 times in his 28 top flight appearances. It was only the club's relegation, the arrival of Daniel Farke and Summerville's contentment to stay put that all lined up and presented the...
Man United are gearing up for what is set to be a busy summer transfer window under new co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS
Sheffield Wednesday picked up a huge win on Sunday, defeating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers to haul themselves out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men showed real grit to twice take the lead before heading back to South Yorkshire with all three points. The win gives them hope of beating the drop, but there is still plenty of work to do, with two tricky fixtures lying in wait over the next two weekends. In the meantime, the WhoScored team of the week has been released, and there is some...
