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,...
Crysencio Summerville has urged his Leeds United teammates to ‘enjoy every moment’ of what looks set to be the tightest Championship promotion race in recent memory. Leeds put themselves back into the automatic promotion places with a hard-fought and dramatic 4-3 win at Middlesbrough on Monday evening, with key man Summerville netting a clinical brace to bookend efforts from Patrick Bamford and Wilfried Gnonto. The Dutchman slotted home from the penalty spot to put his side level at 1-1 before a...
Archie Gray and Crysencio Summerville have picked out a Leeds United pair in who to look out for from the Whites Academy. Gray and Summerville were part of the Leeds representation at this season’s EFL Awards where Summerville was named the Championship’s player of the year and Gray the division’s young player of the year. Keen to delve into the future, Football Manager spoke to pair to ask who was coming through from the club’s Academy with two names emerging from their verdicts. Both...
The Whites went into the game knowing it could transfer all the pressure onto Ipswich Town, and yet they themselves crumbled under the weight of the occasion and a fine performance from the hosts. Here's the YEP take as the fate of the top two was passed into the hands of others. Good day Queens Park Rangers, Leicester City and Ipswich Town. There wasn't anyone of a Leeds United association who could stick their hand in the air and say they'd done all they could or even done themselves justice...
Leeds United have just one game of the regular Championship season remaining but it looks as though their campaign will be extended. Having seen Ipswich Town win 2-1 at Coventry City on Tuesday night, Daniel Farke’s side look set to be consigned to a third-place finish and the play-offs. Automatic promotion can still be achieved, however it will need a minor miracle with Leeds required to beat Southampton while the virtually relegated Huddersfield Town must win at Portman Road. A point or more...
Leeds United have the opportunity to pile the pressure on their promotion rivals when they go to QPR this Friday night. A win for the Whites would see them move four points clear of third placed Ipswich Town in the Championship table with the Tractor Boys returning from a week off on Saturday night when they take on Hull City. Leeds will be entirely focused on what they can control but in order to ensure they enter the final week of the regular season with their promotion fate in their own...
Daniel Farke’s Whites will enter the home straight of the Championship run-in with Monday night’s clash at Middlesbrough which Leeds are approaching in third place, two points adrift of the division’s second automatic promotion place occupied by Ipswich Town. Ipswich, Leeds and leaders Leicester City were all new to the division this term, Ipswich having come up as League One runners-up but Leeds, Leicester and also fourth-placed Southampton all relegated from last season’s top-flight. United’s...
Leicester City winger Stephy Mavididi is the latest to take aim at Leeds United with a bizarre late-night social media post, following his side’s Championship title win. Enzo Maresca’s side secured the title after beating Preston North End 3-0 on Monday, with Jamie Vardy at the double before Kasey McAteer secured the victory. The Foxes had already seen automatic promotion secured following United’s crushing 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on Friday evening. Leicester saw their path to the...
Leeds United will finally know their fate on Saturday with either automatic promotion or a place in the playoffs still on the cards. Daniel Farke’s men failed to heap pressure on Ipswich town after losing 4-0 at Queens Park Rangers on Friday, but points dropped elsewhere has seen them remain in the race for a top-two finish. Leicester City secured the title after beating Preston North End on Monday evening and so it is now between Leeds and Ipswich for second place. Kieran McKenna’s side are at...
There's no doubt about it, Monday night's clash with Middlesbrough is a must win for Leeds United. The Whites are two points adrift of the automatic promotion pace at present and they know a win would be enough to carry them into the top two until next weekend at the very least. Ahead of that contest, the Yorkshire Evening Post takes a look at some of the biggest stories out there. Leeds United continue to be linked with a move for Newcastle United's Sean Longstaff with the Sunday People...
You know a celebration is too outlandish when says so. The striker is and how he winds up other players — more of that later. So, when winger cupped his ears to celebrate their against Championship side (after United had blown a 3-0 lead in normal time of the semi-final), Maupay had something to say on social media. Just for the record, not even I would do this 😭 — Neal Maupay (@nealmaupay_) Antony later posted and deleted an , saying that “the way our fans were treated by their player...
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...
