David Prutton has provided his predictions for Leeds United’s home game against Blackburn Rovers today. The Whites will be trying to get their automatic promotion campaign back on track after slumping in recent weeks, picking up only five points out of a possible 12. Coventry City handed Leeds their first defeat of 2024 last weekend, but Daniel Farke’s team were unable to recover, drawing 0-0 with Sunderland. Fortunately for Leeds, both Ipswich Town and Leicester City were unable to pick up three points, so it stays extremely close heading into the final four games. Farke may be tempted to make…

Leeds United will be upset after the EFL declared that they don’t have the authority to impose a points deduction on Leicester this season. The Premier League announced this month that the Foxes could face a points loss if they return to the top division after breaking PSR regulations last season, when they were demoted to the Championship. However, others have called for Leicester to be punished points this season, with the race for promotion between themselves, Ipswich, and Leeds United leaving only one point separating the top three with four games remaining. However, in a statement issued on Friday…

Coventry City handed Leeds their first loss of 2024 last weekend, but Farke chose to field an unchanged side against Sunderland on Tuesday, a decision that ultimately backfired. Farke has plenty of options on his bench to call upon this afternoon, and commentators such as Aidy White have urged him to make a few changes. Here is our expected XI…
Leeds United welcome Blackburn Rovers this weekend, seeking to return to winning ways after picking up just one point in their previous two games. Daniel Farke’s team has been rocked by the stunning announcement of Stuart Dallas’ retirement from professional football this week, but the only way to respond is with a response this weekend. The defeat at Coventry City was not followed by the appropriate result at home to Sunderland, when a 0-0 draw did little to strengthen Leeds’ chances of promotion – albeit assisted by Ipswich drawing and Leicester losing. David Prutton predicts the Leeds vs. Blackburn result.…
Sheffield United, Nottingham Forest’s relegation opponents, will face a two-point deduction when they next play in the EFL. Nottingham Forest’s Premier League and relegation opponents Sheffield United have been given a two-point deduction for their next appearance in the EFL, it has been announced.
