Paul Heckingbottom has praised the atmosphere at Elland Road, describing it as a “fantastic” venue to play as Leeds United pursue Premier League promotion. Daniel Farke and his team have transformed Elland Road into a fortress this season, having lost zero Championship games at home, and the fans have echoed that sentiment throughout the campaign. The influence of a great environment was truly put to the test when the Whites faced Leicester City on Friday 23 March, trailing 1-0 until the 80th minute before a remarkable 3-1 comeback. Heckingbottom told talkSPORT live on Tuesday (27 February, 9:55am): “Elland Road and…

Casemiro and Victor Lindelof were hurt during Manchester United’s 2-1 Premier League defeat to Fulham on Saturday. Casemiro and Victor Lindelof are both available for Manchester United’s FA Cup fifth-round clash against Nottingham Forest.

Russell Martin’s Southampton team has slid to fourth in the Championship after losing three of their last four matches, including Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Millwall. Southampton, Leeds United’s automatic promotion rivals, have suffered a huge injury blow in their pursuit of a top-two finish.

The 30-year-old, on loan from Newcastle United, was forced off in Saturday’s loss to Millwall due to a knee injury. The winger is not likely to return to action until after the international break, which means he will miss…

The Premier League has been chastised for how it handled the Everton case over financial rule violations, as Nottingham Forest awaits their destiny. Everton’s 10-point suspension for violating the Premier League’s profitability and sustainability standards was lowered to six points on Monday following an appeal by the club. Forest, meanwhile, are scheduled to appear before an independent panel next week after being reprimanded by the Premier League in January for violating its financial regulations. The Reds could potentially face consequences, including a points loss, while Everton could lose more points for a second charge of breaking the financial regulations. Andy…
Forest fans would have followed attentively as Everton’s first 10-point deduction for breaching the PSR was reduced to six on appeal. The news that Everton’s initial 10-point deduction for violating the Premier League’s profit and sustainability rules (PSR) was lowered to six on appeal would likely have cheered and terrified Nottingham Forest fans in equal measure. On the one hand, Forest, who are facing accusations for their own PSR violation, will be relieved to see that the punishment threshold has been reduced from ten to six points. On the other hand, a six-point penalty would be enough to drop Nuno…

Leeds United’s 2023 summer transfer business is becoming more efficient by the week. The Whites signed nine new players after losing several on loan or permanently following relegation, with perhaps only Djed Spence standing out as a disappointment due to the early termination of his contract.

But one player sticks out from the rest of the list: Ampadu, who is set for his first reunion with former club Chelsea tomorrow…
Leeds United travel to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round tomorrow night, and rotation is extremely expected. Leeds’ first of four games in ten days is at Stamford Bridge, and with the Championship promotion race likely to be a nail-biter, Farke’s priorities are obvious. Leeds have a very short turnaround following Chelsea, with an away game at Huddersfield Town at lunchtime on Saturday, which will be new manager Andre Breitenreiter’s first home game. Farke has already revealed that Dan James, Crysencio Summerville, Georginio Rutter, and Patrick Bamford are all uncertain, and it would be surprising if many, if any,…

Here is the XI Farke…
