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...
Sheffield Wednesday's relegation rivals Plymouth Argyle are hopeful of receiving an injury boost ahead of this weekend's clash with Millwall. It's a game that Plymouth need to win in order to bolster their chances of avoiding relegation on the final day of the Championship campaign. 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...
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...
Just three batters into Sunday's game, Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher
Leeds United are back in action on Friday night, facing a quick turnaround following Monday night’s big away win over Middlesbrough. The Whites went behind early against Boro but fought back and wound up winning 4-3, moving into the top two, where they hope to stay between now and the end of the season. Ipswich Town have a game in hand, which they will play next week, while Leeds will also play first this weekend, facing QPR away from home on Friday. Ahead of the Whites’ trip to the capital, we...
A Crysencio Summerville double and goals from Patrick Bamford and Willy Gnonto did the job for Leeds, but they made life incredibly difficult for themselves. Boro went ahead when Emmanuel Latte Lath went clean through and though he couldn’t finish, Isaiah Jones was on hand to find the net. Summerville’s penalty and Bamford bundling in a Junior Firpo cross swung the game Leeds’ way, before Lath equalised from outside the area. Gnonto scored from a clearly offside position to put Leeds back in...
Whites boss Daniel Farke has made two changes to his Leeds United team for tonight’s huge Championship clash against Middlesbrough at the Riverside. Farke had made three changes to his side for last weekend’s hosting of Blackburn Rovers as Joel Piroe, Willy Gnonto and Connor Roberts all came into the side and Patrick Bamford, Dan James and Glen Kamara dropped to the bench. Roberts has since suffered a muscle reaction following his injury return and had already been ruled out of tonight’s contest...
Southampton manager Russell Martin has confirmed he will be without Stuart Armstrong for the remainder of the season due to a muscle injury, with the midfielder set to miss crucial games against Leicester City and Leeds United. Armstrong was stretchered off during Southampton’s 2-1 defeat at Cardiff City on Saturday, his injury compounding a miserable day in which the promotion hopefuls threw away a lead and conceded the decisive goal in the 96th-minute. Martin admitted immediately after the...
James sustained the injury during the second half of Leeds’ 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night and received treatment on the pitch at full-time having struggled through the final few minutes clutching his side. A scan revealed the Welsh international has suffered a costal cartilage injury and oblique abdominal muscle tear which will keep him out of contention for this weekend’s trip to QPR at the very least. Given there could be just one more Championship fixture to play this season, if...
Leicester City will hope to have Ricardo Pereira available for Tuesday’s game against Southampton in a huge boost for Leeds United’s promotion rivals. Pereira was on the bench for Leicester’s 1-0 win over West Brom on Saturday but was not fit enough to feature, with manager Enzo Maresca conscious of managing minutes. Fellow doubts Jamie Vardy and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall both started but their Portuguese teammate did not feature - albeit stand-in right-back Hamza Choudhury proved crucial with three...
Leeds United take on Middlesbrough on Monday night and they know nothing less than a win will do as the club push to win automatic promotion back to the Premier League. Leicester City picked up three crucial points on Saturday and that means Leeds now find themselves sitting two points adrift of the top two with three games to go. Games in hand complicate things at the top, but Leeds know a win at the Riverside Stadium would be enough to move up to second until the weekend at the very least....
Daniel Farke’s Whites are now in the midst of a nine-day spell without a game following Saturday’s disappointing 1-0 defeat at home to Blackburn Rovers in which Leeds blew a huge chance to jump back into the Championship’s automatic promotion places. United’s next game, their third-last of the campaign, presents a trip to Middlesbrough which was moved to a Monday night kick-off due to coverage by Sky Sports. Boro did Leeds a favour at the weekend by holding key title rivals Ipswich Town to a 1-1...
