A huge double boost in Leeds United’s top two quest is expected with a big new question asked of a key promotion rival currently sat in the automatics. Daniel Farke’s third-placed Whites have fallen two points adrift of the Championship’s second automatic promotion place via Leicester City’s 2-1 win at home to West Brom on Saturday lunchtime. Victory for the Foxes took Enzo Maresca’s side top, two points clear of second-placed Ipswich Town who themselves are two points ahead of third placed...
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. With third-placed Ipswich Town not playing until Saturday night, Leeds know that a victory would send them four points clear in the automatics and pile the pressure on the Tractor Boys to take six points from their two games in hand at Hull City on...
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...
Norwich City could be without experienced forward Ashley Barnes for the remainder of their campaign, David Wagner has confirmed. Barnes has played an important role for the Canaries this season, making 40 appearances in all competitions for the club and scoring seven goals along the way. As such, it came as a blow to Wagner to see the veteran forward forced off with a calf injury on Saturday as the Norfolk outfit drew 2-2 with Swansea City. The hope was that Barnes would be able to shake off...
Leicester City will hope to have Ricardo Pereira available for Tuesday’s game against Southampton in a huge boost for Leeds United’s promotion rivals. Pereira was on the bench for Leicester’s 1-0 win over West Brom on Saturday but was not fit enough to feature, with manager Enzo Maresca conscious of managing minutes. Fellow doubts Jamie Vardy and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall both started but their Portuguese teammate did not feature - albeit stand-in right-back Hamza Choudhury proved crucial with three...
Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion have reportedly identified Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna as a potential candidate to replace Roberto De Zerbi this summer. De Zerbi has been linked with a number of jobs this season and while he is contracted until 2026, there is some doubt about whether he will opt to stay on at the Amex Stadium into next season.

Goalkeeper Vaclav Hladky doesn't anticipate Ipswich Town having 'big troubles' as they push to secure automatic promotion from the Championship. The Tractor Boys are without a win in three in the league, having drawn their last two games against Middlesbrough and Watford after their demoralising derby defeat to Norwich City. As such, their inactivity over the weekend, due to Coventry City's FA Cup commitments, has allowed others to knock them off their perch in the Championship. Leicester City...
Leeds United can climb into the Championship’s automatic promotion places with victory at Middlesbrough this evening. Daniel Farke’s side enjoyed a mixed bag of results over the weekend with Leicester City beating West Brom but Southampton losing 2-1 at Cardiff City. With Ipswich Town not in action until Saturday, Leeds have the chance to go second and open up a four-point gap, should they take maximum points from Boro and Queens Park Rangers. It’s set to be another huge week in the Championship...
Daniel Farke’s Whites offered a massive opening to autos rivals Ipswich Town as Friday night’s clash at Queens Park Rangers ended in a 4-0 loss for United’s heaviest league defeat of the season. The big setback left Leeds just one point clear of third-placed Ipswich in the division’s second automatic promotion spot but with Kieran McKenna’s side having two games in hand. The first of those arrived on Saturday evening at Hull City where a win would have taken Ipswich second and two points above...
Sheffield Wednesday's relegation rivals Plymouth Argyle are hopeful of receiving an injury boost ahead of this weekend's clash with Millwall. It's a game that Plymouth need to win in order to bolster their chances of avoiding relegation on the final day of the Championship campaign. The Devon-based outfit are currently 20th, one place and one point better off than Danny Rohl's Wednesday, and two points above the dreaded drop zone. As such, they need all hands on deck this weekend at The Den and...
Leeds United are now looking over their shoulder at Ipswich Town as we approach the crunch of the 2023/24 Championship season. The Whites have been on quite the journey this season, piling the pressure on Leicester City at one point, to now hoping that their top two position won’t slip away. Daniel Farke’s side were dealt a shock defeat at the hands of Queens Park Rangers last time out to cast doubt on their chances at automatic promotion. If Ipswich capitalise on their two games, they will...
Leeds United’s youngsters have been dealt a setback despite a midfielder’s impact with a bitter twist. United’s under-18s took in their final home game of the season on Wednesday against Wolves in the under-18s Premier League North, nine days before the upcoming FA Youth Cup final against Manchester City. Wolves went ahead just after the hour mark through a strike from Connor McLeod but Whites midfielder Ollie Pickles looked to have bagged Leeds a point when equalising in the 80th minute...
