Experienced defender Luke Ayling spoke to Sky Sports before kick-off ahead
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...
Leeds United face Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium in the Sky Bet
Former Leeds United boss Simon Grayson has highlighted the positive side of his former side missing out on the playoffs. The Whites lost at home to Southampton on the final day, but the defeat didn’t matter anyway, with Ipswich Town securing promotion to the Premier League by taking care of business at home to Huddersfield Town, as expected. Daniel Farke’s men have led the automatic promotion chase at times, but they blew a number of opportunities down the final stretch and will have to settle...
Premier League outfit Brighton and Hove Albion have reportedly identified Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna as a potential candidate to replace Roberto De Zerbi this summer. De Zerbi has been linked with a number of jobs this season and while he is contracted until 2026, there is some doubt about whether he will opt to stay on at the Amex Stadium into next season. As such, Brighton have been working behind the scenes to identify managers who could potentially replace the Italian this summer...
This afternoon’s pre-match presser is unlikely to be the last of its kind this season with Leeds most probably having to participate in the Championship play-offs later this month. Farke chose not to discuss the probability of that particular scenario following his side’s 4-0 defeat by Queens Park Rangers last Friday but after Ipswich Town’s victory against Coventry City earlier this week, the automatic promotion picture is an especially stark one from a Leeds perspective. United must beat...
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...
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...
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna never expected to be involved in a promotion race but now looks set to pip Leeds United to a top-two finish in the Championship, following Tuesday’s massive win at Coventry City. Ipswich took a massive step towards their second automatic promotion in as many seasons after beating Coventry City 2-1 at the CBS Arena. Kieffer Moore and Cameron Burgess were on hand for the Tractor Boys, scoring either side of half-time. Haji Wright’s drilled effort cancelled out...
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...
Leeds United’s season has been extended for at least another two games after they missed out on automatic promotion to Ipswich Town. A 2-1 defeat at home to Southampton on the final day condemned Daniel Farke’s men to third place and they will now face the German’s former team, Norwich City, in the play-off semi-finals, with victory over two legs setting up a meeting with either the Saints or West Brom at Wembley. United now face a month of relative uncertainty, with those in charge at Elland...
Leeds’ penultimate fixture of the regular Championship season takes place tomorrow night with United knowing a win puts increased pressure on Kieran McKenna’s third place Ipswich Town to keep pace with league leaders Leicester City and Farke’s men. The Whites were back to winning ways on Monday night, defeating Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, but victory came at a cost with Dan James ruled out for the trip to Loftus Road with a costal cartilage injury and torn oblique abdominal muscle....
