Sunderland play Watford at Vicarage Road on Saturday in the Championship before taking on Sheffield Wednesday at the Stadium of Light the following week in their last game of the 2023-24 campaign. The Black Cats, who are currently under the stewardship of interim head coach Mike Dodds, lost 1-0 to Millwall at home last time out and have seen their season fizzle out with the play-offs out of reach whilst mathematically safe of the relegation places. Despite Sunderland’s dull end to the season,...
Austin oversaw Friday night’s clash between the Hoops and Whites at Loftus Road for coverage on Sky Sports and watched his former team deal a hammer blow to United’s promotion prospects by recording a 4-0 victory. The defeat left Leeds just one point ahead of third-placed Ipswich Town in the Championship’s second automatic promotion place but the Tractor Boys now have two games in hand in which Austin expects them to kick-on and consign Daniel Farke’s Whites to the play-offs at the “wrong time”...
Leeds United returned to winning ways on Monday night at Middlesbrough to move back into the top two. Leeds have the opportunity to consolidate that position on Friday night when they travel to face QPR for what is their final away game of the season. A win at Loftus Road would take Leeds four points clear of Ipswich in the league table and while Kieran McKenna's side will have two games in hand by that point, the pressure will well and truly be on. Leeds can only focus on themselves, of...
Leeds United moved back into the Championship's automatic promotion places with a thrilling 4-3 success at Monday night's hosts Middlesbrough in which star man Crysencio Summerville added to his brilliant tally with a double. Leeds squandered two good chances in the fourth minute as Ethan Ampadu failed to get a free header on target and Georginio Rutter then sliced a volley on the follow-up attempt. Instead, Boro went ahead just three minutes later through Isaiah Jones who tapped home into an...
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.

It’s set to be another huge week in the Championship...
Leeds' 4-3 win at the Riverside Stadium could prove to be one of their most consequential of the season as fading hopes of automatic promotion were renewed on Teesside. A Crysencio Summerville brace, in addition to finishes from Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto helped Leeds to their 27th league victory of the season, taking the team onto 90 points and back up into second place after 44 games played. Leeds went in at the break 3-2 up after an enthralling opening 45 minutes but did not have a grip...
Despite reports in the national media, the likelihood of England international Phillips making an Elland Road comeback are particularly slim, on account of the fact Leeds are not in a position to commit the necessary resources to signing such a player at this point in time. Sentimentality is all well and good but since Phillips left in a £42 million transfer two summers ago, plenty has changed at Elland Road, not least the ownership. 49ers Enterprises have taken majority control of the club and...

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...
Raphinha’s long-term future could see him back in England with reports suggesting a €60million (£51.2m) bid from a Premier League club has been rejected by Barcelona. Leeds United sold Raphinha to Barcelona in a deal worth around £50m in July 2022, following their final-day win over Brentford that secured top-flight survival. It has not been plain sailing for the Brazilian since, with the increased competition among wide forwards seeing minutes limited. Raphinha has knuckled down and come into...
