The most recent Leeds United news looks at the Championship calendar for the promotion candidates following the win over Stoke City.
The Championship promotion and title race appears to be headed for a dramatic finale, with midweek action taking place this week.
On Tuesday night, Leeds United played Stoke City at Elland Road. Daniel James scored in the 33rd minute to give the Whites the lead. Ben Pearson was then sent off for Stoke, as Daniel Farke’s side earned an important three points.
Leicester City and Ipswich Town were both in action at the same time. The Foxes faced Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, while Ipswich played Bristol City at Portman Road.
Jamie Vardy’s first-half goal was enough to secure Leicester’s first win in four games. It assures that the gap between them and Leeds stays five points.
