Leeds United striker Patrick Bamford is yet to return to team training and remains a doubt for Saturday's game against Southampton. A bruised knee, sustained against Middlesbrough, kept Bamford from action last Friday in the 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers but he has continued to struggle ahead of the final Championship outing of the season. Leeds still have an outside chance of making the automatic promotion places but must beat the Saints and hope that relegation-threatened Huddersfield...
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 evening kick-off quickly presents itself just four nights later at Loftus Road. 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...
Leeds United are back in action on Friday night, facing a quick turnaround following Monday night’s big away win over Middlesbrough. The Whites went behind early against Boro but fought back and wound up winning 4-3, moving into the top two, where they hope to stay between now and the end of the season. Ipswich Town have a game in hand, which they will play next week, while Leeds will also play first this weekend, facing QPR away from home on Friday. Ahead of the Whites’ trip to the capital, we...
Sheffield United have reached the do or die stage of the Premier League season. After Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester United, the Blades know that defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday will see them relegated from the top flight. It’s been a long old season at Bramall Lane and Chris Wilder’s side remain rooted to the foot of the table, despite their best efforts. Their cause isn’t helped by the sheer amount of injuries they have at the minute, with a number of key men being ruled out for the...
Wednesday secured a massive win over Rovers at Ewood Park in front of over 7,300 travelling fans, with a tremendous Josh Windass strike being followed up by a great goal from Marvin Johnson and a bizarre Aynsley Pears own goal - it was a victory that finally saw them clamber out of the Championship’s bottom three. The game was not without cost, though, with Michael Ihiekwe limping off in the early stages of the fixture, and then his replacement, Diaby, having to come off in the second half as...

United’s under-18s visited Blackburn Rovers under-18s on Saturday afternoon in the under-18s Premier League North and fought back from 2-0 down to leave with a 4-2 victory in which Devon Brockie notched a brace. Leeds were 2-0 down inside 39 minutes after Joe Boggan netted twice for the hosts but Brockie pulled a goal back for the young Whites two minutes before the interval. Brockie’s second goal of the game then drew United level just seven minutes later, arriving from the first of two Josh...
Leeds United’s automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town have a new injury concern over a star man on the back of Saturday evening’s 3-3 draw at Hull City. Former Leeds youngster Leif Davis has continually excelled for Kieran McKenna’s side this season, the 24-year-old named in the Championship team of the year and the only Tractor Boys player to be included in that XI. Left back Davis made his 41st league start of the season in Saturday evening’s huge clash at Hull but the defender rolled his...
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...
Then it goes back to Ipswich who don't play until next Saturday night at Hull City and it goes back to that whole debate about whether you would prefer to have points on the board or games in hand. Therefore Leeds would have the points on the board and Ipswich would have to operate with those two games in hand which can bring its own pressure. It's a fascinating set up for it. Leeds go to Middlesbrough this evening and then QPR on Friday night and Boro were of course play-off semi-finalists last...
Seven senior players are on the casualty list and another is rated as doubtful for Friday’s visit of Betfred Super League’s bottom-placed side. Smith’s 21-man squad includes five teenagers and seven players with fewer than a dozen first team appearances to their name. Five serious injuries in the last three matches have forced a series of changes, particularly in the three-quarters and the coach admitted that “certainly has an impact”, but stressed he expects the youngsters who come in to play...
Leeds United have the opportunity to lay down the gauntlet to Ipswich Town and Leicester City on Friday night when they travel to Loftus Road to face a QPR side aiming to secure their spot in the Championship for next season. The London outfit are four points clear of the bottom three with two games remaining but three points on Friday will mathematically seal their spot in the second tier for another year. For Leeds, the stakes are promotion to the Premier League as their season-long battle...
