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...
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...
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...
Former Leeds United midfielder turned pundit David Prutton is predicting Leeds United to seize the upper hand in the Championship promotion race this weekend. The Whites currently sit second in the table, one place and one point above Ipswich Town, who have the benefit of a game in hand, which will be played against Coventry City next week. As such, while Leeds United know that a win over QPR on Friday night will see them move four points clear for 24 hours at the very least, Ipswich know that...
Leeds United forward Mateo Joseph has been praised by one of his former teammates as the Whites challenge for Premier League promotion.
Leicester City had to showcase the character and resilience they possess to return to the top of the table this weekend, says Hamza Choudhury. The Foxes' hopes of winning automatic promotion took a huge blow last week as they fell to defeats against both Millwall and Plymouth Argyle. However, Enzo Maresca's side held out to claim a 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on Saturday afternoon and pile the pressure on Leeds United and Ipswich Town in the battle for automatic promotion. The Foxes still...
Leeds United were left stunned on Friday when they were handed a shock 4-0 defeat by 17th-placed Queens Park Rangers. Despite holding the lion’s share of possession and attempting 15 shots towards goal, Daniel Farke’s side simply couldn’t find a way though and left Loftus Road with a mauling. Leeds are now at serious risk of missing out on a top two finish, as Ipswich Town are seriously threatening to unravel their efforts this season. The Tractor Boys are currently level on 90 points with the...
Daniel Farke’s Whites moved back into the Championship’s second automatic promotion place with Monday night’s thrilling 4-3 success at Middlesbrough and another away day now quickly presents itself in Friday night’s clash at Queens Park Rangers.

In just 10 days' time, the regular Championship season will be over and we will know who has won the battle for promotion to the Premier League. Leicester City are in the driving seat, of course, with their 5-0 win over Southampton on Tuesday night putting them four points clear at the top of the division. Leeds United and Ipswich Town are hot on their tail, though, and over the next week and a half they'll be doing all they can to pick up the points they need to win automatic promotion and...
Experienced defender Luke Ayling spoke to Sky Sports before kick-off ahead
Leeds United will need a final-day miracle to achieve automatic promotion after seeing Ipswich Town beat Coventry City 2-1 on Tuesday evening. Ipswich were far from their best but got the job done at the CBS Arena, twice taking the lead through Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess. Haji Wright cancelled out the former shortly after half-time but Kieran McKenna’s side rallied to take a massive three points back to Portman Road. The Tractor Boys are now back into second-place and three points clear...
Mateusz Klich has perfectly summed up the feeling among Leeds United fans ahead of this evening’s Championship clash between Ipswich Town and Coventry City. Ipswich go to the CBS Arena in their penultimate fixture of the regular season, with any positive result seeing them leapfrog Leeds into second with just one game remaining for each. Kieran McKenna’s side are currently only behind the Whites on goal difference after drawing 3-3 at Hull City on Saturday. Regardless of tonight’s result, the...
