Leeds United will hope to get back to winning ways when they welcome Sunderland to Elland Road on Tuesday evening. Daniel Farke’s side saw a 15-game unbeaten run end with Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Coventry City, dropping out of the automatic promotion places in the process. Leeds have consecutive home games against bottom-half opposition to look forward to this week and will hope to continue their incredible unbeaten home run to heap the pressure on Ipswich Town and Leicester City. In the...
Whites captain Liam Cooper has paid an emotional tribute to his teammate and best friend Stuart Dallas with a vow and final four aim upon the star’s imminent retirement. United’s promotion-winning Northern Ireland international star Dallas announced this week that he would be retiring at the end of the season having not played since suffering a femoral fracture against Manchester City back in April 2022. Leeds will pay tribute to Dallas during today’s Championship hosting of Blackburn Rovers,...
Twenty-year-old attacking midfielder Joe Snowdon struck twice in four minutes in Monday’s league hosting of Derby’s under-21s, his rapid double-salvo providing the platform for a 3-0 victory for Scott Gardner’s young side. Snowdon also netted in the 5-3 defeat at home to Fulham’s under-21s in the middle of last month, Monday’s double taking his recent tally to three goals in his last three games. Speaking to LUTV, the thriving youngster gave a glowing verdict on how much he is enjoying playing...
Here is what our YEP Jury had to say on Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to John Eustace’s side including a Whites problem, Championship fear and re-emerging new rivals warning. NEIL GREWER Another disappointing day at the office for Leeds. The second goalless game in a week against a side which, like Sunderland in the previous game, mastered the art of cramming bodies in their own penalty box and dealing with all Leeds could offer. Leeds offered more than last Tuesday but, ultimately, were caught out by a...
United's under-18s faced a huge night at Elland Road on Thursday evening with the visit of Millwall's under-18s in the second semi-final of the FA Youth Cup. Leeds were looking to seal a place in the final for just the third time in the club's history and Rob Etherington's young side ultimately edged out the young Lions in a 4-3 Elland Road thriller. The young Whites had to recover from falling 1-0 down with just 18 minutes on the clock and a plucky Millwall side would not lie down, twice...
Leeds United have been served a slice of relief after Saturday’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers with a star helping the Whites but a new issue presenting itself. Leeds had the chance to move back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places and potentially top of the division in Saturday’s lunchtime hosting of Blackburn after defeat for Leicester City in Friday night’s clash at Plymouth Argyle. Instead, Daniel Farke’s side fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat which left them in third place and...
Daniel Farke’s Whites headed to Saturday’s Championship clash at Coventry City having not lost a league game so far this year but fell to a 2-1 defeat which ultimately led to Leeds losing their place in the division’s automatic promotion spots. United now have a quick chance to bounce back with Tuesday night’s hosting of Sunderland, ahead of which Whites captain Liam Cooper has made an admission about the disappointment felt in the dressing room by a rare loss of late for Farke’s side. Cooper,...
The versatile Northern Ireland international announced on Wednesday afternoon his plan to retire at the end of the season due to the horror injury he sustained in April 2022. Dallas reached a decision having been unable to return to the level of fitness and mobility required to compete at his best. Seven surgeries and numerous set-backs have kept the 2020 Championship winner from ever making a return to the pitch for club or country, since that collision with Jack Grealish in a Premier League...
Leeds were frustrated by their visitors’ defensive solidity, as the Black Cats became the second side in three days to make it a four-point 2023/24 haul against the Whites, after Coventry’s win over Farke’s men on Saturday. The draw denied Leeds the chance to go top of the table, with leaders Leicester City losing 1-0 to Millwall. There were chances for the hosts at Elland Road, Patrick Bamford going past the keeper in the first half only to over-hit his cross and Georginio Rutter shooting wide...
Leeds United fell out of the automatic promotion places on Saturday after losing 2-1 at Coventry City. Joel Piroe’s late effort was merely consolation, with the Whites unable to find a leveller after goals from Ellis Simms and Haji Wright put the hosts in front. Defeat was an opportunity missed for Leeds, who saw Championship promotion rivals Ipswich Town lose at Norwich City earlier in the day while Leicester City beat Birmingham. Midweek fixtures will allow Daniel Farke’s side to turn things...
A Coventry City star has issued a very bullish Sky Blues message in eyeing a ‘great opportunity’ against Daniel Farke’s Leeds United side. Promotion hopefuls Coventry and Leeds will lock horns at the CBS Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a 3pm kick-off which the Sky Blues are approaching on the back of Monday’s 2-1 defeat at home to Cardiff City. Five positions and 26 points separate the second-placed Whites and seventh-placed Sky Blues in the Championship table but Coventry defender Bobby Thomas...
Scott Gardner’s side have not played since falling to a 4-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last weekend, a result which left them bottom of the 26-team Premier League Two table after 16 games played. Leeds, though, now have the chance to climb the ladder with this afternoon’s visit of Derby who themselves are second-bottom, just two points ahead of the Whites who also have a game in hand. Leeds have games in hand on the six teams above them and victory against Derby would also take Gardner’s side...
