Experienced defender Luke Ayling spoke to Sky Sports before kick-off ahead
Middlesbrough come into this one on the back of a nine-match unbeaten streak and will make it ten-in-a-row should they avoid defeat against Daniel Farke's side. Leeds' own aim will be to get back to winning ways after a three-match spell without taking maximum points, as they had done in 13 of their previous 15. Leeds beat Carrick's Boro at Elland Road earlier this season by a 3-2 scoreline and the head coach at the Riverside Stadium knows no matter the two sides' places in the form table, the...
Former Leeds United defender Neil Collins has been sacked as manager of Barnsley with just one game remaining and his side currently in the play-off places. Barnsley fell to a fourth defeat in five on Saturday after losing 3-2 at Blackpool, leaving them with just two win from their last 11 games. The Tykes were a certainty for the League One play-offs but now sit a point above Lincoln City and Oxford United, in sixth and seventh respectively. The South Yorkshire side host 14th-placed Northampton...
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...
There's no doubt about it, Monday night's clash with Middlesbrough is a must win for Leeds United. The Whites are two points adrift of the automatic promotion pace at present and they know a win would be enough to carry them into the top two until next weekend at the very least. Ahead of that contest, the Yorkshire Evening Post takes a look at some of the biggest stories out there. Leeds United continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff with the Sunday People...

Middlesbrough boss Michael Carrick was left frustrated by a 'massive' offside decision that went Leeds United's way in their 4-3 Riverside win. A madcap game saw Boro take an early lead through Isaiah Jones before Crysencio Summerville's penalty and Patrick Bamford's goal against his former side swung things towards the visitors. Carrick's men hit back through Emmanuel Latte Lath's long-distance strike, only to fall behind once more when a clearly offside Willy Gnonto smashed home to make it...
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...
Leeds United supporters are still coming to terms with their Championship failure. Barring a miracle, the Whites must force their Premier League return via the play-offs following a disastrous showing in West London. Daniel Farke’s men were humiliated 4-0 by Queens Park Rangers in a game they had to win to keep the automatic promotion dream alive. Ipswich Town now boast two games in hand - with Leicester City already promoted - to all but guarantee condemn Leeds to third place. On paper, the...
