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...
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 forward Mateo Joseph has been praised by one of his former teammates as the Whites challenge for Premier League promotion.
Here is what our YEP Jury have had to say on tonight’s clash at the Riverside including agreement on a key selection issue in the front line, a trio call, legend’s advice and a Whites must. NEIL GREWER If Leeds are to have any hope of automatic promotion then a win in this game will be vital. Middlesbrough are in good form and are seeking to finish the season strongly – and will be going for the win. This could be to our advantage as Boro will certainly not be employing the...
Kristoffer Klaesson has returned to Leeds United and trained well after walking away from a serious car crash in Norway earlier this week.
This is all a bit exciting, isn't it? Two games to go, automatic promotion still possible. It's exciting in the same way that a monstrous rollercoaster is exciting when you finally get to the head of the queue. You know you want the experience, you know you should enjoy it but you know there's a reason for your fear. It's that excitement that turns the stomach just a little. And though the proximity to promotion is not unfamiliar to Leeds fans, it most certainly is for the vast majority of the...
Ipswich Town midfielder Jack Taylor insists his side can ‘definitely’ claim the second automatic promotion place ahead of Leeds United - but the Tractor Boys are not getting too carried away with two more games to play. Kieran McKenna’s side can climb back into second if they take anything from Coventry City this evening, with Saturday’s dramatic 3-3 draw at Hull City pulling them level on points with Leeds, having played a game less. Coventry cannot make a late push for play-offs and so have...
The Saints have sold out their allocation for their games at both Leicester City, on Tuesday April 23, and the May 4 visit to West Yorkshire. Fourth-placed Southampton have won their last three league outings to put pressure on the top three of Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich Town. Russell Martin’s men sit three points behind third-placed Leeds with a game in hand, but with an inferior goal difference. Leeds, though, are winless in three, just like leaders Ipswich, while the Foxes have won one of...
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...
The German has commented on Leeds' fixture list throughout this year's Championship campaign, asking for consistency in scheduling between all clubs in the interest of fairness. Leeds' direct promotion rivals Ipswich have gone two weeks without a game and now face three in the space of seven days to complete the 2023/24 season due to opponents Coventry City's participation in the FA Cup. Farke has sympathy for his opposite number Kieran McKenna and asked the question of broadcasters and the...

Conor Chaplin insists Ipswich Town continue to play without fear as their promotion battle with Leeds United and Leicester City heats up. Ipswich have done a magnificent job in keeping pace with their automatic promotion rivals, given they only came up from League One last season while Leeds and Leicester dropped down from the Premier League. Kieran McKenna’s side fell out of the top-two after Leeds beat Middlesbrough 4-3 on Monday but fate remains in their hands. Pressure could soon be heaped...
