Leeds United could be in the Championship’s automatic promotion places by the end of the day but must overcome an in-form Middlesbrough to do so. Daniel Farke’s side currently sit third and need to gain two points on Ipswich Town if they want to avoid the play-offs. Form has been patchy at best for Leeds but with just three games remaining, there can be no more slip-ups and victory at the Riverside Stadium could prove crucial. Ahead of kick-off, The YEP has rounded up some of the latest stories...

Mike Dodds’ side had been in fine form prior to the visit of the Lions, but they could do little to prevent Duncan Watmore’s effort deciding the contest at the Stadium of Light. It was a disappointing result and it leaves them sitting 13th, with just two more games to play this season. Sunderland travel to Watford next up before returning to...

Barnsley are looking for a new manager at this late stage of the season after making the surprise decision to part ways with former White Neill Collins on Monday. Collins failed to pick up a win in his last five games in charge at Oakwell, but the Tykes remain fifth in League One and will be pushing to secure a play-off spot this weekend when they take on Northampton Town on...
