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...
Fans have reacted angrily to the listing of tickets for the Championship season finale on May 4 on various resale websites, at prices ranging from £380 to £470. Leeds remain in the hunt for automatic promotion and though Saints suffered a damaging 5-0 defeat by leaders Leicester City on Tuesday night, the final game of the campaign could still hold huge consequences for either side's Premier League dream. Leeds supporters recently shared screengrabs on social media of their attempts to get their...
Tricky attacker Ian Poveda is on loan from Leeds United and made a marked impact on the season before sustaining injury troubles that has sat him out of the last four matches. The Colombia international has been working his way back from a hamstring injury, with his recovery taking place partly with a personal trainer and also between the training grounds of both his loan and parent clubs. The Star understands it was initially feared that Poveda would be ruled out for the remainder of the...
Leeds United owners 49ers Enterprises have made no secret of their desire to redevelop Elland Road and increase its capacity in the not too distant future. Chairman Paraag Marathe confirmed stadium improvements were high on the agenda when the American consortium completed their takeover of the Whites last summer and it now seems as though the wheels are beginning to creak into motion. That's according to a report by i, which claims the club have held fresh talks with stakeholders within the...
The 18-year-old does not need a window into the psyche of the fanbase right now because he is one of them, born into a family that is Elland Road furniture. A rock steady character, moulded in part by his upbringing, the Leeds in Gray makes itself known from time to time. Going after Kyle McFadzean on Saturday after an off-the-ball block was one of a number of times the youngster has got right in the face of opponents this season. His celebrations of the goal against Leicester, before it was...
Queens Park Rangers defender Jake Clarke-Salter insists there will be no let off for the visit of Leeds United on Friday despite Championship safety being all but secured. QPR enjoyed a crucial 1-0 win at home to Preston North End on Saturday, with striker Lyndon Dykes scoring the only goal of the game in the 20th minute. Marti Cifuentes’ men held on for a clean sheet and the three points took them onto 50 for the season, opening up a four-point gap on the relegation zone with two games...
Southampton boss Russell Martin expects to see forward Ross Stewart return to fitness in time for next week's trip to Leeds United. The Saints have been forced to settle for a spot in the Championship play-offs this season with a run of three straight defeats, culminating in Saturday's 1-0 loss at home to Stoke City, ruling them out of automatic promotion contention. However, they still have to travel to Leeds next week and while they will have little to play for, they'll still be keen to head...
The German, whose side returned to winning ways with a thrilling 4-3 victory at Middlesbrough on Monday night to keep the pressure on their fellow promotion hopefuls, was expecting a busy day of preparation for Friday's visit to London. Leeds will face Queens Park Rangers in the first game of the weekend and have the opportunity to put a four-point gap between themselves and Ipswich, who play at Hull City on Saturday. Leicester, meanwhile, could stretch their own lead over Farke's men to four...
QPR boss Marti Cifuentes expects to see his side go 'all-in' in order to secure survival against Leeds United on Friday night. The West London outfit took a huge step towards sealing a place in next season's Championship on Saturday, as they saw off Preston North End 1-0 at Loftus Road. That win was enough to take QPR up to 18th in the Championship table, but Sheffield Wednesday's win over Blackburn Rovers on Sunday afternoon means they remain just four points above the drop zone. As such,...
To say Leeds United supporters have got behind Daniel Farke’s promotion push this season would be an understatement. Elland Road has been sold out most weeks with fans snapping up any available tickets to watch the Whites in Championship action and loudly cheer them on. Leeds have managed to use that vociferous support to their advantage, too, going unbeaten on home soil over the course of the campaign, prior to last Saturday’s defeat to Blackburn Rovers. Elland Road might be one of the biggest...
Former Premier League referee Mike Dean admits he is rooting for Leeds United in the Championship promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side have it all to do at present with a run of just one win in five leaving them two points adrift of the current top two pace in the second tier ahead of their Monday night clash with Middlesbrough. United know that three points against Boro will be enough to see them leapfrog Ipswich Town and claim second spot. However, games in hand complicate the situation...
News of the 26-year-old’s torn abdominal muscle came to light following Leeds’ 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night and will keep the Wales international from playing any part in United’s penultimate fixture of the season versus QPR this Friday. It is doubtful the Leeds speedster will be passed fit to face Southampton on the final day either, due to the nature of his injury, however United’s medical staff will pay close attention to the player’s condition over the coming days to determine...
