Southampton manager Russell Martin has stated that Saints goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu would most likely miss the match against Leeds United at Elland Road. Daniel Farke’s Whites are three points ahead of the Saints, who have a game in hand in the battle for automatic promotion, and the two clubs will play on the final day of the regular Championship season. Southampton closed the gap to the top with a 3-0 victory over Preston on Tuesday (16 April), but Martin revealed after the game that he has no idea when Bazunu or Flynn Downes will be able to return from injury.…

Leeds United have had several famous strikers over the years. Chris Wood and Ross McCormack have each scored around 30 goals in the Championship for Leeds, while Luciano Becchio and Jermaine Beckford were prolific in League One. Back in the Premier League, Leeds had Mark Viduka, Alan Smith, Robbie Keane, and others scoring goals. Leeds hasn’t had the same kind of success at that position in recent years. Aside from Patrick Bamford’s 17-goal return in the 2020/21 Premier League season, he and others who have played there have not been particularly prolific. Having said that, it could have been very…
Promotion bonuses connected to first-team contracts will put Leeds United on the verge of breaking Profit and Sustainability Rules if they are activated this summer, according to Football Insider. The Yorkshire club is vying for promotion this season, with Daniel Farke’s side now third in the table with three games remaining. According to Football Insider, promotion this season would result in £15 million in promotion bonuses, which are included in first-team contracts. If the incentives are paid before the June 30 deadline, they will be included in the club’s PSR calculations for the fiscal year 2023-24. Leeds have successfully met…
Ipswich Town, Leicester City, Leeds United, and Southampton appear to be locked in a struggle for automatic promotion over the next two and a half weeks. Just a few days ago, it appeared to be a three-horse battle for the top two slots, but Southampton’s three wins in a row have pushed them back into contention. In that time, Ipswich, Leicester, and Leeds have all made mistakes, leaving only five points separating the top four. The Foxes and Southampton also have a game in hand against each other next Tuesday. Leicester defender Conor Coady believes the pressure has increased on…
Leeds United have three games remaining to clinch automatic promotion, but Southampton’s win against Preston last night has pushed them back into contention. At the moment, it appears that none of the top three Championship teams desire to win the championship, with Leeds, Ipswich, and Leicester City all failing to win in their past two games. Meanwhile, Southampton has recovered from a recent hiccup, scooping four wins to leave them three points behind Leeds and five points off top spot with another game in hand against Leicester. David Prutton anticipates a playoff final between Leeds and Southampton in May. Sky…
A player who Nottingham Forest bid for in January is reportedly preparing to leave his present club during the summer transfer window. The Reds were forced to trim their cloth accordingly in January, signing only three players during the window. One priority was a goalkeeper. Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos had failed to leave an impression, and Nuno Espirito Santo was unimpressed. So the head coach went out and paid £5 million to recruit Matz Sels from Strasbourg, and he is now the team’s first choice goalkeeper. Forest were also interested in signing another player, who has now made a…
Garry Birtles, a Nottingham Forest icon, believes one of the club’s players is not suited to playing under Nuno Espirito Santo on home soil. The Reds drew 2-2 with Wolves at the weekend, leaving their Premier League status hanging in the balance with five games remaining. Forest’s Morgan Gibbs-White and Danilo scored during the game, but Wolves drew level thanks to two Matheus Cunha goals. Forest are just one point above the relegation zone with five games remaining, only two of which are at the City Ground. Forest face a difficult journey to Everton on Sunday, after the Toffees were…
The Whites are preparing for a future without the player. Leeds United are currently fighting for an immediate return to the Premier League via automatic promotion from the Championship. The Whites are presently third in the table, with only two points separating them from Leicester and Ipswich in the top three, while Southampton are three points behind in fourth. Daniel Farke’s club will be hoping to get over the finish line in the final three games of the regular season, but they will need the two teams above them to falter before they can focus on the impending summer transfer…
Mateo Joseph, a Spanish Under-21 international, struck the attention in 2024 and has surged ahead of Joe Gelhardt in the pecking order for a Leeds United starting place. After three lengthy, goalless hours at Elland Road, Daniel Farke may change his front line again for the trip to Middlesbrough. Joel Piroe failed his tryout after replacing Patrick Bamford in the attacking lineup against Blackburn Rovers. Will Farke turn to Bamford in a must-win battle at the Riverside? The clamour for Mateo Joseph to make his league debut becomes stronger by the week. Archie Gray’s breakout season of 2023/24 will be…
Another Championship manager has been dismissed at one of Leeds United’s divisional rivals. Rotherham United, Leeds United’s Championship rivals, have relieved manager Leam Richardson of his duties with three games left in the season. The Millers’ relegation to League One was confirmed earlier this month, but the two remaining positions are yet to be filled, and the struggle at the other end of the table appears to be coming down to the wire. Richardson, who is from Leeds, took over in December when Rotherham ousted Matt Taylor, but he managed only two wins in 24 games, resulting to his dismissal…
