The Whites have numerous players out of contract, which will need to be replaced in Daniel Farke’s squad, whilst reinforcements are made to the first XI as Leeds challenge to remain in the Premier League or go again at promotion from the Championship. United will also need to find workable solutions for those currently out on loan, many of whom were signed for significant fees on significant wages during the summer of 2022, which preceded relegation from the top flight. Following the release...
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...
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,...
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...
Leeds United's hopes of automatic promotion took a huge blow on Friday night at QPR. It was a performance that failed to inspire and the result leaves Leeds needing results elsewhere to go their way over the next week. It's not over yet, of course, but if Ipswich Town win their two games in hand it will be. The Whites are now at the mercy of the Tractor Boys results and they'll be praying Kieran McKenna's side fall short at Hull City this evening and again against Coventry City on Tuesday...
The summer transfer window won’t open for some time yet but Leeds United are already being linked with a number of potential signings. Of course, at this moment in time Leeds are locked in a promotion battle at the top of the Championship and don’t know what league they will be competing in next season. Getting over the line and regaining a spot in the Premier League is the priority then and Daniel Farke’s side will be pushing over the final three games of the season to claim a top two berth....
Ipswich Town boss Kiernan McKenna believes Ipswich Town have an advantage over Leeds United in their bid to land automatic promotion. The Tractor Boys are currently behind the Whites on goal difference but they crucially have a game in hand against Coventry City on Tuesday night. Ipswich know that four points from their last two games will guarantee their long-awaited return to the Premier League, keeping in mind that they face already relegated - for all intensive purposes - Huddersfield Town...
Daniel Farke’s Whites will enter the home straight of the Championship run-in with Monday night’s clash at Middlesbrough which Leeds are approaching in third place, two points adrift of the division’s second automatic promotion place occupied by Ipswich Town. Ipswich, Leeds and leaders Leicester City were all new to the division this term, Ipswich having come up as League One runners-up but Leeds, Leicester and also fourth-placed Southampton all relegated from last season’s top-flight. United’s...
Daniel Farke's third crack at the Premier League ultimately hinges on results elsewhere but was given renewed hope on Monday night after Leeds recorded their 27th league victory of the season at the Riverside Stadium to move back into second place. The Whites' 4-3 win over Middlesbrough tested the resolve of even the most serene Leeds supporter, in particular the final ten-minute spell in which Boro poured forward - including goalkeeper Seny Dieng - pumping balls into United's penalty area en...
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...
Despite the 4-2 win over Sheffield United, there is still concern about what Erik ten Hag can provide at Manchester United as he remains a manager under-fire.
