Junior Firpo insists the momentum from last week’s 4-0 thumping of Norwich City should put Leeds United in good stead for Sunday’s play-off final clash against Southampton. Leeds look to have rediscovered their form at the perfect time, having put an admittedly woeful Norwich side to the sword in the second-leg of their semi-final. Firpo set up Crysencio Summerville for the fourth goal with a smart cutback and is now part of a defence that has kept consecutive clean sheets once again. Bengal...
Ex-Leeds United players Pablo Hernandez, Gaetano Berardi, Olivier Dacourt, Eirik Bakke and Luciano Becchio have wished their former club the best of luck in their Championship play-off final this weekend against Southampton on X. Daniel Farke’s side saw off Norwich City in the semi-finals and take on the Saints for a place back in the Premier League as they look to secure an immediate return to the top flight following their relegation last year. Bengal Brasserie Arena Quarter – serving...
Whites loan star Joe Rodon has made a vow about next Sunday’s play-off final and signalled a calm message about Leeds United promotion pressure. Tottenham centre-back Rodon has continually impressed during his season-long loan at Leeds who are now one game away from an immediate return to the Premier League after last season’s relegation. After a goalless draw in last Sunday’s play-offs semi-final first leg at Norwich City, Leeds hammered the Canaries 4-0 in Thursday night’s second leg to set up...
Leeds United have failed in their bid for an immediate Premier League return - so what next for the Whites? Daniel Farke’s team saw their bid for promotion go down to the Championship play-offs, which ended with Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Wembley final. After weeks of uncertainty, Leeds now know that next season will begin with another campaign in the second tier and the 2024-25 Championship season will begin over the weekend of August 10-11. The fixtures for next season’s...
Leeds United will make their long-awaited return to Wembley when they face Southampton in the Championship play-off final on Sunday. Daniel Farke’s side are just 90 minutes away from what they hope will be an instant return to the Premier League. It’s been 16 years since Leeds supporters last made the long and nervy trip to Wembley, with Leeds having only been involved in the play-offs once in that time - a semi-final elimination at the hands of Derby County. Despite being such a long time ago,...
The Whites will play in the Championship again next season after a 1-0 defeat to Southampton at Wembley, as the play-offs curse continues. More than 35,000 Leeds fans travelled to London for the game - and back home the dissapointment can be felt across the city. Yorkshire Evening Post readers have had a lot to say following the defeat. Don Robins said the result was “inevitable”, while Marie Jeffery said: “Glad it's half term. School would be a very grumpy place this week.” Paul Chapman added:...
Leeds United are dreaming of an immediate return to the Premier League this weekend despite an ongoing Wembley curse hanging over them. Daniel Farke’s side blew their chances of automatic promotion
The Premier League's 2023/24 campaign drew to a close over the weekend as Manchester City were crowned champions for a record fourth straight year. No sooner had Pep Guardiola lit up a cigar, David Moyes was waving goodbye to the London Stadium while Jurgen Klopp pre-emptively announced the arrival of Arne Slot at his Anfield farewell. Then, news broke of Brighton and Hove Albion's mutual separation with head coach Roberto De Zerbi. Less than three days after the season's end, a fourth top...
The near-total demolition of Marcelo Bielsa's Leeds United team has all-but removed him as a talking point ahead of the play-off final but the Whites can repay an outstanding debt to him on Sunday. Bengal Brasserie Arena Quarter – serving authentic Indian cuisine in the heart of the city. Proudly supporting Leeds United and the YEP. This is every inch Daniel Farke's team. If, as expected, the German goes unchanged at Wembley following that pasting of Norwich City, then just three Bielsaball...
Leeds United are at Wembley Stadium for this afternoon’s Championship play-off final and more than 36,000 excited supporters have made the journey to cheer them on. Promotion to the Premier League is the prize for the the winner with Daniel Farke’s side taking on Southampton. It’ll be a day to cherish for a lifetime if the Whites can get the job done in the north west London sunshine today and fans have travelled in the hope of being able to roar their side back up to the top flight.

Both forwards have experienced varying degrees of injury problems lately with Adams picking up an issue in the 2-1 win over Leeds at Elland Road at the start of this month, while Scotland international Stewart has missed the majority of this season. Neither player was spotted in the Saints' in-house training video published on the club's official app during this week, casting doubt on their availability for this weekend's fixture at the home of football. Boss Russell Martin has already suggested...
Leeds United fans will be able to drink in several pubs around Wembley on Sunday afternoon. The Whites take on Southampton in the Championship play-off final this weekend and in an effort to keep supporters apart, the two sets of fans will be urged to occupy pubs and clubs at different ends of the stadium. With Leeds fans sat in the east side of the stadium, supporters have been assigned five pubs on that side of the ground. All six pubs are within a short walk of Wembley Park underground...
