Sheffield United have reached the do or die stage of the Premier League season. After Wednesday’s defeat to Manchester United, the Blades know that defeat at Newcastle United on Saturday will see them relegated from the top flight. It’s been a long old season at Bramall Lane and Chris Wilder’s side remain rooted to the foot of the table, despite their best efforts. Their cause isn’t helped by the sheer amount of injuries they have at the minute, with a number of key men being ruled out for the...
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...
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...
Daniel Farke’s Whites moved back into the Championship’s second automatic promotion place with Monday night’s thrilling 4-3 success at Middlesbrough and another away day evening kick-off quickly presents itself just four nights later at Loftus Road. With third-placed Ipswich Town not playing until Saturday night, Leeds know that a victory would send them four points clear in the automatics and pile the pressure on the Tractor Boys to take six points from their two games in hand at Hull City on...
Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope is in the ‘final stages’ of his rehabilitation process after almost five months out with a dislocated shoulder. Pope hasn’t featured for Newcastle since picking up a freak dislocated shoulder injury against Manchester United at the start of December but head coach Eddie Howe is hopeful of seeing the player back in action before the end of the season. But with just five games remaining after the trip to Crystal Palace, time is running out for the 32-year-old...
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...
The second-rower is one of four senior forwards definitely ruled out of Friday’s visit of Huddersfield Giants in Betfred Super League. Bentley missed Rhinos last game, against Warrington Wolves two weeks ago, after failing a head injury assessment during the Easter win at Castleford Tigers. He also sat out the final month of last season, after being concussed in a game at Huddersfield and Smith admitted another head injury is “not ideal for sure and something we are getting expert assistance...
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...
Southampton manager Russell Martin doesn't expect first-choice goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu to play again this season. Bazunu had played every minute of every league game for the Saints prior to Tuesday's rearranged clash with Preston North End. However, the Republic of Ireland international picked up an Achilles injury in the warm-up at St Mary's Stadium and probably won't feature again this season. Bazunu's injury opened the door for Alex McCarthy to make his first Championship appearance of the...
Leeds’ penultimate fixture of the regular Championship season takes place tomorrow night with United knowing a win puts increased pressure on Kieran McKenna’s third place Ipswich Town to keep pace with league leaders Leicester City and Farke’s men. The Whites were back to winning ways on Monday night, defeating Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium, but victory came at a cost with Dan James ruled out for the trip to Loftus Road with a costal cartilage injury and torn oblique abdominal muscle....
