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,...
The ex-Leeds and Scunthorpe United defender made the move overseas last year after departing League One club MK Dons, in what was his first senior managerial role. Jackson had previously been assistant to Jesse Marsch at Elland Road, and was promoted over a period of years from academy coach to Under-16s, Under-18s and finally Under-23s manager. The 45-year-old began his time at Central Coast with four straight defeats but currently has the side top of the A-League Men’s standings and most...

Leeds have the opportunity to consolidate that position on Friday night when they travel to face QPR for what is their final away game of the season. A win at Loftus Road would take Leeds four points clear of Ipswich in the league table and while Kieran McKenna's side will have two games in hand by that point, the pressure will well and truly be on. Leeds can only focus on themselves, of...
Leeds United know that even a win on the final day of the Championship season might not be enough to secure automatic promotion. The Whites are in third and three points behind Ipswich Town going into this weekend’s clash with Southampton at Elland Road. As such, the Whites need to not only beat the Saints on Saturday afternoon, they also require Ipswich to fall short against the all but relegated Huddersfield Town at Portman Road. Should the Tractor Boys pick up anything on Saturday, they will...
An ex-Leeds United player has received a ban which will prevent him from facing Ipswich Town next week and also impacts the start of next season. Defender Liam Kitching began his career with Leeds before departing for Forest Green Rovers in 2019 and the centre-back is now a key part of Coventry City’s squad. The Sky Blues face United’s automatic promotion rivals Ipswich in a massive game on Tuesday night but Kitching was sent off in Saturday’s goalless draw at Blackburn Rovers and is...
Sheffield Wednesday's relegation rivals Plymouth Argyle are hopeful of receiving an injury boost ahead of this weekend's clash with Millwall.

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...
