Football finance expert Kieran Maguire believes Leeds United might just have an advantage over other clubs should they win promotion back to the Premier League. The Whites are in pole position in the Championship promotion race following last weekend's win over Milllwall and with eight games to go, few would be betting against the Whites getting over the line. If they were to bounce back at the first time of asking, Leeds would be stepping into a Premier League with new financial regulations in...
The battle for a spot in the top four in the Premier League this season looks like it’s going right down to the wire yet again. Aston Villa, Tottenham, and Manchester United are all battling
Roberts has drawn comparisons to actors in period dramas and RAF fighter pilots of yesteryear while sporting his preened moustache, and though the 28-year-old acknowledges it is 'all a bit of a joke', the Welsh international hopes he can repeat his Burnley success of last year with the national team, and Leeds during the final six weeks of this season. "My wife last year, she was like 'Why don't you grow it?' so I did and then we went on an unbeaten run at Burnley. "I've done the same thing this...

Leeds United midfielder Ilia Gruev outlined his hopes of playing Premier League football next season after coming second in Bulgaria's 2023 Player of the Year vote. Gruev narrowly lost out to PAOK winger and national team captain Kiril Despodov on the night, with the Whites man enjoying a second consecutive year in the top two. The midfielder's 2023 was split between Leeds and Werder Bremen, having made the move from Germany to West Yorkshire for around £4million in the summer. At just...
David Prutton is struggling to see beyond a 13th win in 14 games for Leeds United when they face Watford on Good Friday. Leeds have been top of the Championship over the March international break after beating Millwall 2-0 earlier this month, thanks to goals from Wilfried Gnonto and Dan James. Daniel Farke's side have clawed back 17 points in previous leaders Leicester City thanks to a near-perfect start to the new year, with points dropped on just one occasion and no goals conceded from open...
An 'extremely disappointed' Leicester City have hit out at the Premier League after being charged for a breach of their profitability and sustainability rules. Following several weeks of media speculation, Leeds United's Championship promotion rivals were formally charged by the Premier League on Thursday evening. As well as the purported breaches, they are also accused of 'failing to submit their audited financial accounts to the League.' Leicester's case will now go in front of an independent...
Leicester City have been charged by the Premier League for breaches of their financial rules and failing to submit audited finances. The Foxes, who currently sit 2nd in the Championship, could be handed a points deduction by the Premier League if found guilty of these breaches, much like Everton and Nottingham Forest have suffered this campaign. The Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) have been a major talking point throughout the campaign and the Foxes, despite not being a...
NTT20 co-host George Elek says he did not foresee the uptick in James' end product this season which is likely to exceed 20 goal contributions by the end of the campaign - a career-high for the soon-to-be 50-cap Welshman. James' Elland Road future appeared in doubt as recently as last season when he was sent on loan to Fulham, unfancied by then-coach Jesse Marsch. However, his subsequent return and drop down to the second tier has yielded 12 goals and seven assists so far. James has had a hand...
Former Premier League referee Dermot Gallagher believes Leeds United's Joe Rodon should have been awarded a penalty against Millwall. Leeds were a goal ahead when the incident took place at Elland Road, and looking capable of cruising to victory, which they eventually did, of course, but the result could have been a lot more comprehensive had Leeds been given a spotkick by referee Stephen Martin. Looking to attack a bouncing ball, Rodon came off second best as a reckless challenge from...
Leeds United's under-18s have recorded a brilliant success for an away day to savour at a Premier League big gun. United's youngsters took on Liverpool's under-18s at the Reds Academy in a 12 noon kick-off on Saturday and left with a fine 3-1 success thanks to a first-half blitz. Liverpool sit third in the Premier League North under-18s table but the Reds fell behind in just the sixth minute via a Lucas Pitt own goal. Harvey Vincent then put the sixth-placed Whites 2-0 up in the 28th minute...
Leeds United have a golden opportunity to go level on points with Leicester City this weekend and potentially even leapfrog to the top of the Championship table, depending on how many goals they score against Millwall. The Foxes were once the runaway leaders of the 2023/24 season but Daniel Farke and his side have significantly closed the gap as they eye a top two finish. As things stand, the Whites are in a very strong position to secure automatic promotion back up to the Premier League. They...
