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,...
Leeds' result in the capital on Friday night was enough to see rivals Leicester City promoted back to the Premier League, but United's own hopes of an immediate return to the top flight were dented quite considerably by their poorest display of the season. Farke's side were without experienced forward Bamford in the matchday squad, despite the 30-year-old having travelled to West London, due to a bruised knee sustained in the 4-3 win over Middlesbrough on Monday night. Farke explained the...
Leeds United missed the chance to reclaim a spot in the automatic promotion places after losing 1-0 at home to Blackburn Rovers on Saturday. A first home defeat of the season came courtesy of Sammie Szmodics’ 82nd-minute effort but points dropped for Leicester City and Ipswich Town means it is still all to play for in the final weeks of the season. With Leeds’ next game at Middlesbrough pushed back to next Monday evening, Daniel Farke’s side have a full week without match action to prepare for...
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...
Raphinha’s long-term future could see him back in England with reports suggesting a €60million (£51.2m) bid from a Premier League club has been rejected by Barcelona. Leeds United sold Raphinha to Barcelona in a deal worth around £50m in July 2022, following their final-day win over Brentford that secured top-flight survival. It has not been plain sailing for the Brazilian since, with the increased competition among wide forwards seeing minutes limited. Raphinha has knuckled down and come into...

Max Wober admits he is yet to hear from Leeds United regarding their plans for him beyond this season. Wober was one of several Leeds players to force an exit from Elland Road last summer, taking advantage of a loan clause once Leeds were relegated to the Championship. The defender gave initial suggestions he could stay in West Yorkshire but seemingly U-turned once interest came from Bundesliga outfit Borussia Monchengladbach. The Austrian international has played regularly at Gladbach but their...
Back seat driving is an occupational hazard for any manager, particularly one who takes control of a club like Leeds. The ‘500,000 managers' he referenced in Friday's pre-Blackburn Rovers press conference, all with their own opinions on tactics, substitutions and the like were quite content to leave him to it and simply admire the view as Leeds went on that January to March thrill ride. And why not? The going was so good, for so long. It was as close to cruise control as an emotionally charged...
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...
