Leeds manager Daniel Farke may be preparing his team for a return to the Premier League this summer amid a nail-biting Championship title chase. Liverpool veteran Mark Lawrenson has urged Leeds United, Leicester City, Ipswich Town, and whoever else may be promoted to the Premier League this season to compete for Blackburn Rovers’ Sammie Szmodics. The attacking midfielder joined Ewood Park from Peterborough United in the summer of 2022, but his first season produced only five goals and two assists in the second division.

Leeds United head to QPR on Friday night, just a few days after their Monday night trip against Middlesbrough.

On Saturday, the West London club defeated Preston North End 1-0 at Loftus Road, taking a significant step towards securing a spot in the Championship next season. That victory moved QPR up to 18th in the Championship table, but Sheffield Wednesday’s win over Blackburn Rovers on Sunday afternoon means they are only four points above the relegation zone. As a result, while…

Glenn Murray has described how Nottingham Forest can find delight at Everton this afternoon. The Reds play Everton at Goodison Park, and the stakes could not be higher. Only one point separates the two teams, both of which incurred point deductions throughout the 2023/24 season. Nuno Espirito Santo will now face Sean Dyche, and whichever team wins will be confident in their Premier League survival chances. Forest fell 1-0 against Everton in December, and it was likely the game that marked the beginning of the end for Steve Cooper. The Toffees lost 6-0 to Chelsea on Monday night, and Murray…

Leeds United’s scant experience in the Premier League over the past 20 years means they cannot be considered a favourite in their promotion battle with Leicester City and Southampton. Leicester City, the 2016 Premier League champions, have spent ten of the last twenty years in the top flight, whereas Southampton has had thirteen. For Leeds, it was four. Farke was undoubtedly implying that the years of spending power and infrastructure supplied will put Leeds on a weaker basis in 2023/24. Leicester City, the 2016 Premier League champions, have spent ten of the last twenty years in the top flight, whereas…
