A nine-day hiatus between matches could be helpful for Leeds United. The Whites do not play again until next Monday, when they travel to Middlesbrough to keep their automatic promotion aspirations alive.

With summer getting closer by the day – not that you’d think it based on the weather prediction – we’re at the point in the season where every knock and niggle causes a twinge of worry.

Dermot Gallagher, a former Premier League referee, believes Leeds United were rightfully denied a penalty in their 1-0 loss to Blackburn Rovers. A late Sammie Szmodics goal clinched Saturday’s (13 April) game at Elland Road, denting Leeds’ automatic promotion aspirations.

Nottingham Forest have been docked four points this season for violating financial fair play standards, and Simon Jordan has had his say. The Reds have had a rather rocky season. Much like last season, the team enters the final five games of the season with their Premier League future still uncertain. Forest’s situation should have been very different this semester. Although decent players were signed in the summer, the club has often struggled. Set pieces have proven disastrous. Despite Matz Sels’ claim that they are working hard on them in training, 22 goals have been surrendered in those scenarios. With…
