Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say on Sunday afternoon’s Championship play-off against Southampton at Wembley. Bengal Brasserie Arena Quarter – serving authentic Indian cuisine in the heart of the city. Proudly supporting Leeds United and the YEP. DAVID WATKINS So, it all comes down to this; beat Southampton at Wembley and the Premier League riches are ours again. Lose, and it’s another 46-game slog in the Championship next season, with no guarantee we’d be as competitive as we’ve been...
The Whites will play in the Championship again next season after a 1-0 defeat to Southampton at Wembley, as the play-offs curse continues. More than 35,000 Leeds fans travelled to London for the game - and back home the dissapointment can be felt across the city. Yorkshire Evening Post readers have had a lot to say following the defeat. Don Robins said the result was “inevitable”, while Marie Jeffery said: “Glad it's half term. School would be a very grumpy place this week.” Paul Chapman added:...
Leeds United fans have been raising the noise levels at Wembley ahead of their Play Off Final clash with Southampton at Wembley. Unsurprisingly, I Predict a Riot - the terrace anthem by sons of Leeds The Kaiser Chiefs - was played before the match kicked off and it belted around Wembley Stadium.

Speaking ahead of the match from BOXPARK Wembley, Leeds hero Luke...
They were comprehensive, clinical and ruthlessly efficient. It could have been more than 4-0. You could have been looking at six or seven goals by the end of it had Leeds taken all their chances and it was a real joy to see them in that particular form. Everyone seemed to step back up to what they were doing earlier on this year in particular and even with the celebrations as well - yes, they were joyful, but it was also business-like. The players were keen to stress that they had won one game...

Leeds United have failed in their bid for an immediate Premier League return - so what next for the Whites? Daniel Farke’s team saw their bid for promotion go down to the Championship play-offs, which ended with Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Wembley final. After weeks of uncertainty, Leeds now know that next season will begin with another campaign in the second tier and the 2024-25 Championship season will begin over the weekend of August 10-11. The fixtures for next season’s...
The near-total demolition of Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United team has all-but removed him as a talking point ahead of the play-off final but the Whites can repay an outstanding debt to him on Sunday. Bengal Brasserie Arena Quarter – serving authentic Indian cuisine in the heart of the city. Proudly supporting Leeds United and the YEP. This is every inch Daniel Farke's team. If, as expected, the German goes unchanged at Wembley following that pasting of Norwich City, then just three Bielsaball...
Daniel Farke’s Whites are now just one game away from sealing the club an immediate Premier League return having stormed their way into next Sunday’s Wembley play-off final. Leeds and Southampton will battle it out at the home of football and the bookmakers ultimately expect United to be celebrating a place back in the country’s top flight by next Sunday night. Leeds have never won the play-offs in five attempts in the club’s history but the bookies expect that to finally change for what would...
Leeds United are at Wembley Stadium for this afternoon’s Championship play-off final and more than 36,000 excited supporters have made the journey to cheer them on. Promotion to the Premier League is the prize for the the winner with Daniel Farke’s side taking on Southampton. It’ll be a day to cherish for a lifetime if the Whites can get the job done in the north west London sunshine today and fans have travelled in the hope of being able to roar their side back up to the top flight. With that...
Lee Sobot Southampton were the only team to do the double over Leeds during the regular season, but I fancy the Whites to have the last laugh in Sunday's play-off final. The Saints are likely to prove a totally different proposition to Norwich City who Leeds absolutely walloped 4-0 in the play-offs semi-final second leg at Elland Road. That said, my feeling would be that Leeds will also get the job done against Southampton if they produce a performance anything like the one witnessed at Elland...
There's no doubt about it, Leeds United are now just a couple of days away from the biggest game in their recent history. After missing out on automatic promotion on the final day of the regular season, the Whites have one last chance to claim a spot in next season's Premier League this weekend as they take on Southampton in the Championship play-off final. It promises to be a day of contrasting emotions with Sunday's Wembley winner being able to celebrate bouncing back to the top flight at the...
