Patrick Bamford has expressed his thoughts on the decision not to award Leeds United a penalty against Sunderland last night. Leeds were held to a dismal 0-0 stalemate at Elland Road by the Black Cats, who struggled to produce any clear-cut chances during the 90-minute game. Leeds have only managed to pick up five points from their four games since the international break, in what has been an incredibly troubling run of play at the worst time. Just as on Saturday, Leeds squandered the opportunity to climb to the top of the table following Leicester City’s defeat at Millwall, with…

On Sunday, Nottingham Forest met Tottenham at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League, and there was a major incident between James Maddison and Ryan Yates. Tottenham won 3-1 as the Reds huffed and puffed in the capital, thanks to two brilliant goals from Micky van de Ven and Pedro Porro. Forest settled better in the opening half than the other squad. Chris Wood cancelled out Murillo’s own goal, and the New Zealand striker should have put the Reds ahead. Gary Lineker chastised Wood for his miss, and he will know in his heart that his wayward moment was…
Nottingham Forest were docked four points earlier this season for violating financial fair play regulations.

The Toffees have already been penalized 10 points this season, with four recovered on appeal, and have now been deducted two more points for failing to comply for the…
Leeds United face Sunderland in the Championship this evening in their effort to go back to winning ways. Former White Jon Newsome believes Coventry City may have created a blueprint for beating Leeds United. Leeds’ 15-game unbeaten streak came to an end on Saturday when the Sky Blues prevailed 2-1, handing Daniel Farke’s team their first league defeat of the year. That defeat was enough to knock the Whites out of the top two, and with only five games remaining in the Championship promotion race, the pressure is increasing. Leeds finished second best at the CBS Arena, and they will…
Joe Donnohue reports that Leeds United winger Wilfried Gnonto is not ready to start for Daniel Farke’s side against Sunderland at Elland Road. On Tuesday (9 April), a Yorkshire Evening Post journalist said that the Italian winger will be fit enough to sit on the bench against the Black Cats, but will not be named in the starting lineup. The 20-year-old made his first appearance since the March international break in the Whites’ 2-1 loss to Coventry, coming off the bench for the final six minutes at the CBS Arena, and he will have to settle with a similar cameo…
David Prutton has offered his prediction for Leeds United’s match against Sunderland this evening. The Whites face the first of five remaining cup finals in the fight for automatic promotion, with the top two already out of their reach following Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Coventry City. Leeds were the first side to be beaten in the league in 2024, but they simply cannot afford to continue that trend at this point in the season. Leeds could be without talisman Ethan Ampadu for the first time since joining from Chelsea last summer due to sickness, but Daniel Farke will be desperate…

The Whites are one of several clubs keeping an eye on the 18-year-old’s position at Fir Park, with Premier League club Brighton also reportedly interested in signing him. However, it appears that Leeds will miss out, with the Daily Record reporting that discussions between Scottish Premiership team Motherwell and Wells are at a “advanced stage”. Indeed, they stated that an agreement might be reached within a matter of weeks. How has Leeds United used…

Following a potentially important weekend in the Premier League relegation battle, Luton Town manager Rob Edwards has projected that the Hatters would need four victories from their next six games to stay in the top level. Third-from-bottom Luton’s win over Bournemouth on Saturday brings them level on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who lost 3-1 at Tottenham yesterday. The Reds are also awaiting the outcome of an appeal against a four-point deduction for violating profit and sustainability criteria, which could have a significant impact on who is cut at the conclusion of the season. Luton now have three home games…
Leeds United could sign Matt O’Riley from Celtic if they are promoted to the Premier League, according to Paul Robinson. Carlton Palmer recently indicated that Celtic might consider selling the goalscoring midfielder if offered between £20 and £25 million, having previously rejected a £10 million deal from Atletico Madrid. The EFL commentator claimed Leeds are one of the clubs keeping an eye on O’Riley, who scored his 13th Scottish Premiership goal of the season in Celtic’s 3-3 draw with Rangers on Sunday (7 April). While a move is doubtful if Leeds remain in the Championship, Robinson believes a deal for…
