Leeds supporters recently shared screengrabs on social media of their attempts to get their...
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.

That's according to a report by i, which claims the club have held fresh talks with stakeholders within the...
Victor Orta has confirmed that Leeds United held talks with Paulo Fonseca over the vacant manager’s job after sacking Marcelo Bielsa in February 2022. Bielsa left Leeds in heart-breaking fashion after taking just one point from his final six games, with an injury-ravaged squad on the end of some heavy defeats. Then-owner Andrea Radrizzani admitted it was the toughest decision he’d made in West Yorkshire and American Jesse Marsch was quickly brought in to replace the much-loved Argentinian. Orta...
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.

Mateusz Klich has perfectly summed up the feeling among Leeds United fans ahead of this evening’s Championship clash between Ipswich Town and Coventry City. Ipswich go to the CBS Arena in their penultimate fixture of the regular season, with any positive result seeing them leapfrog Leeds into second with just one game remaining for each. Kieran McKenna’s side are currently only behind the Whites on goal difference after drawing 3-3 at Hull City on Saturday. Regardless of tonight’s result, the...
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...

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...
