Leeds United

Leeds United are set to hand Jesse Marsch a major transfer war chest this summer, according to the Daily Mail ahead of the final weekend.

Either way, it looks as though we will have a big budget to play for this summer – we’re confident that it will be with us still in the Premier League. If that happens at Villa Park, we have to be classed as favourites to stay up, but if we travel to Brentford needing a win, that is when it could become a struggle with so much on the line. It is shared that the expectation would be that Marsch would take Leeds immediately back to the Premier League on the first time of asking.

Ashley Barnes scored from the spot late in the first half after Emi Buendia felled Maxwel Cornet but Buendia then equalised early in the second to earn the ...

Should Leeds win and Burnley fail to, or Leeds draw and Burnley lose, then the Clarets will be relegated. The Clarets need to match Leeds' result at Brentford to stay up meaning a draw will be enough if Jesse Marsch's side don't win while Burnley will stay up with a defeat if Leeds also lose. Nick Pope made several important saves while Wout Weghorst missed a late chance to win it for Burnley as the battle for survival goes to Sunday.

It's Aston Villa versus Burnley on Thursday night and, further north, Everton versus Crystal Palace. Leeds can't be relegated there and then but like Begbie ...

There’s a bit of #UTV (Up The Villa) which everyone has learned in the past 24 hours and straw-clutching is in full flow. “Have I ever felt this sick on a day #lufc haven’t been playing,” asks Rev. A Mol (@RevAMol) and the answer to that is most likely yes. “Fair play to Buendia, didn’t get his head down when he wasn’t penalised first challenge,” says It’s Would Have, Not Would Of (@MuzzyHillbilly), a tweet that has the advantage of being printable. Then Buendia equalises and even MrPaulRobinson (@MrPaulRobinson) is being complimentary about him “despite spending the last 15 minutes sticking pins in his voodoo doll”. We’re all too pure to pick up illegal streams of the Everton-Palace so it’s Burnley on the laptop. And use the ransom money to buy a centre-forward. It was 2020 and an entire fanbase watched Huddersfield Town beat West Bromwich Albion on the telly, with no team on the pitch but every cell of skin in the game. For Leeds, in 17th place, the permutations are kind of complex, kind of simple. — chained to a door in a Villa shirt and a gimp mask. “All this Villa love is going to turn into hate in a few hours,” he says. The rest will do that thing where they try hard to limit themselves to sporadic updates on a mobile. So bang on the dot, in fact, that it’s almost as if the tweet was scheduled.

When Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed the ball into the net, Everton fans were ready to start celebrating their team's Premier League status being preserved.

While Burnley plays Newcastle on Sunday, Jesse Marsch's Leeds is at Brentford trying to avoid joining Norwich and Watford in dropping into the second division. In an ideal situation we wouldn’t be in the position we were but then it produces moments like that and you can go from low to high so quick. Pickford’s one-handed save from Mateta kept Everton in the game. In the mayhem, Palace manager Patrick Vieira looked to be goaded by an Everton fan before he kicked out. Everton was enraged that Jordan Ayew was only booked for a scissor tackle on Anthony Gordon before he scored Palace's second. Everton’s 5-2-3 formation meant it was being totally outnumbered in midfield.

The last relegation spot will be filled by either Leeds United or Burnley heading into final day of the Premier League season.

While there's every chance Brentford and Newcastle could be 'on the beach' both sides do still have something to play for, meaning Burnley and Leeds will both be in for a challenging Sunday in their final games of the Premier League season. The Bees have picked up a whopping 22 points from a possible 30 since March and will be looking to finish off their debut Premier League campaign in style in front of their home fans. However, they do have a vastly worse goal difference, meaning that even a win for Leeds on the final day against Brentford away could still see Jesse Marsch's side relegated if Burnley beat Newcastle at Turf Moor.

Leeds United versus Brentford is one of just three games Sky Sports will broadcast on the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday.

Burnley have a superior goal difference of plus-20 to Leeds, meaning that a win for the Clarets over Newcastle will see them safe. A draw could keep them up should Burnley lose to Newcastle, but three points would be far more preferable than just one. Leeds United's clash against Brentford will be one of three televised games on Sky Sports for their final day of the season Premier League coverage this Sunday. The Whites travel to the Brentford Community Stadium knowing that a win might not be enough to keep them in the Premier League after Burnley leapfrogged Jesse Marsch's side into 17th place courtesy of a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa.

It was with some discomfort, therefore, that Leeds fans watched Villa face relegation rivals Burnley at Villa Park on Thursday night, knowing an away win would give them a relegation mountain to climb.

Don't miss a thing from the club you love! The referee has overseen three Clarets matches this season including the 2-1 away win at Watford last month when he initially awarded Burnley a penalty before changing his decision on the advice of VAR as the foul took place outside the box. He was also in charge for the reverse fixture with the Hornets at Turf Moor - a 0-0 draw - and the 2-0 home loss to Man City in April.

Brentford's final match of the 2021/22 Premier League season will be shown live by Sky Sports. The Bees will face Leeds United on Sunday, 22 May.

The teams last met in the 2019/20 season, which was interrupted and extended by the Covid-19 outbreak. Patrick Bamford equalised in stoppage time for the hosts but injured himself celebrating and has only played 100 minutes for Leeds in six-and-a-half months since. Leeds come to West London without a win in five matches. Leeds had taken 11 points from five matches before three straight defeats to Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in an 11-day spell. The game between the teams in Yorkshire earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw. Brentford will be looking to end their first Premier League season with a top half finish.

The Leeds United boss has issued his pre-Brentford injury update as the club look to avoid the drop into the Championship.

Leeds will start the final day of the season in the final relegation spot following Burnley's 1-1 draw at Aston Villa on Thursday evening. "Tyler Roberts was in training today, but will not be available for selection. Somewhere between two and four months, we'll see exactly how he progresses, but it's on a knee issue that he had to get sorted out, so we decided to take this time to use to get him healthy."

I've been in these situations before, if it's the last day you need to know a bit of what's going on in the other matches.

Beren Cross answered all your Leeds United questions in his latest Q&A - here's the full transcript.

A sale or even a new contract may be possible given the dearth of left-back options at Elland Road. Casilla has another year on his Leeds deal, but he has already said he never expects to play for Leeds again after moving to Elche. A sale or loan is highly likely for the goalkeeper. By January it was clear this season was not going the way anyone hoped and if they had been the slightest doubt about his future, they should have removed him with enough time to act in the January window. Firpo may not want to give up after one year in Leeds. Unless the club push him out, I think he would stick around. The Spanish return rumours have never really gone away and I would not be surprised if he went back in the summer. BC: Davis has one year on his contract remaining, but was expected to stay with Bournemouth after his loan. I know Bielsa was great for us, but i wonder if there was feeling from anyone in club that he went one season to many. After finishing ninth in the first season back at that level, nobody could have predicted it would blow up the way it has. Leeds travel to in-form Brentford on Sunday, knowing that they will almost certainly have to pick up a positive result on the road. However, he told us in press conferences he would never say to additions which improved his team. BC: Without knowing the small print of their agreement with Radrizzani, my assumption would be they are far more cautious about putting any more money into a Championship club than they need to. Having cancelled the most recent plans for Fullerton Park, the world is the club's oyster when it comes to that land. In relation to ground expansion, is this dependent on Premier League status?

Leeds have declined to comment, but LeedsLive understands, at this point, there remains nothing more than a letter outlining these concerns and asking what the division has done about the losses incurred.

He has got such phenomenal talent and ability and he has also got that knack of doing brilliant things at brilliant moments, like he did on Sunday. He has been a bright spark in what has been a pretty gloomy year. There were fans who were concerned before the start of the season that they had not recruited enough or done enough to the squad, but I think the overriding mood was that they would have enough and they would be OK – and that was certainly the mood within the club as well. When they came up out of the Championship, the way they recruited, they said in the very first transfer window that they were trying to build a squad that would last for two years in the Premier League. If they do stay up, you would have to say that it has barely done that and there are going to have to be substantial changes made. That tends to be the story of clubs who go down or clubs who get into trouble – and it is not really much of a mystery, at this point, to understand why Leeds are where they are. There was that run of five games without defeat and, quite honestly, at the end of that, there was a very calm mood around the club; there was a feeling that they had just about done enough and it would be a challenge for the teams below them to catch up on them. Leeds are 17th in the Premier League table as things stand (ahead of the midweek fixtures), with their battle to extend their stay in the Premier League to be settled on the final day of the season.

Leeds United manager Jesse Marsch expects to keep his job even if his team lose their Premier League status this weekend.

The club is committed to me. The connections we have made meshes well together. Marsch will take charge of his 12 game as Leeds manager on Sunday when they travel to Brentford on the final day of the season.

Bielsa was replaced by Jesse Marsch but the American’s results have been mixed. ‘You can be up for the fight, but don’t do anything stupid. Whether that was Marcelo Bielsa (former manager) or the board, I don’t know. ‘I carried that relegation around with me for 16 years until we got promoted back to the Premier League.

Leeds United forward Dan James is reportedly subject to interest from Atalanta ahead of the summer, with contact made between the club and the player.

He could tear up the Championship for us in a promotion-chasing side, but moving to a side pushing for European football is a big step up. “At the moment he certainly has his head turned to something else with respect to market issues, given that the team of the patron Andrea Radrizzani, a young Milanese entrepreneur, is seriously in danger of retreating.” Leeds United forward Dan James is reportedly subject to interest from Atalanta ahead of the summer, with contact made between the club and the player.

Sources have confirmed to ESPN that Leeds and Burnley also demanded details of what action, if any, has been taken by the Premier League to sanction Everton for their losses. Everton spent £33m on new signings in January and also recruited Manchester United's Donny van de Beek and Aston Villa's Anwar El Ghazi on loan. As reported by The Times, Leeds and Burnley submitted a joint letter to the Premier League on May 13 threatening to bring a claim for substantial damages against the league and Everton following the club's combined losses of £371.8 million over the last three years.

Leeds United visit Brentford in the Premier League on Sunday with choices at Jesse Marsch's disposal so we tasked our club writer to name the XI he would ...

The 20-year-old can bring legs, energy and some decent interplay of his own, as evidenced in his flick-ons and one-twos recently. Plus, I would have him in attack with Joe Gelhardt. Who would blame him, Bamford or the club?

Manchester United want Raphinha, Arsenal close in on Marquinhos, Burnley could tempt Vincent Kompany and Antonio Rudiger will leave Chelsea.

Paper Round’s view: Bringing Kompany back to the Premier League would be a sensible option for Burnley as they look to overhaul their squad after they grew a tad stale under Sean Dyche in recent seasons. Paper Round’s view: Arsenal could be playing Champions League football next season and if Mikel Arteta is able to continue his decent work with the team, then they could go far in the tournament. At 25 his time has come to move on to test himself further up the league, and it poses a tough challenge for Marcus Rashford, as he has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford this season.

United are in the market for a new defender after their torrid season at the back but should they pursue a move for the 22-year-old they will face competition from Juve boss, Massimiliano Allegri, who is looking to tie down the defender.

“It’s the sort of player Manchester City would want to go for. "Yeah 100 per cent, I think it’s a logical player linked,” said the former Premier League goalkeeper. When asked whether Phillips would succeed at the Etihad Stadium on ‘The Football Show’ on Sky Sports News, Mark Schwarzer had no doubts.

Leeds Uniteds two-year stay in the Premier League could come to an end on Sunday, should relegation rivals Burnley win against Newcastle.

"The connections we have made mesh well together. In contrast, Brentford have won three of their last five and will know that a win on the final day could see them finish in the top half of the table in their debut campaign in the top flight. As a result, Leeds will have to rely on Burnley slipping up against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, while they themselves have to pick up points on their visit to Brentford.

A look at how an unlikely rivalry has developed between Brentford and Leeds in recent seasons.

With both sides were vying for automatic promotion, Leeds had hit a wall in their season and entered the game at Griffin Park in terrible form. That was also the first time Thomas Frank had taken charge of a match with Leeds following his appointment earlier in the season. Striker Ollie Watkins won a penalty for the Bees in which replays showed there was minimal, if any contact at all. That means Leeds head to west London needing a result against a side that an unlikely rivalry has been built in recent seasons. The first game which ignited the flame came back in February 2018, when neither side had any real aspirations of achieving promotion. Leeds United head to Brentford this weekend in a season finale that will decide their Premier League fate.

When a relegation battle goes to the final day of the season, as the Premier League's will for Leeds United, things have a habit of getting complicated.

Such is the mess they have made of an injury-disrupted season up to now, even that may not be enough. “I would hate to see some of the guys go because I think I’ve made a real connection and I think there’s big potential.” “I try to not be a result-based manager, I try to be based on the process, but I’ve had 12 matches where that’s been really tough to manage and certainly this one will be the toughest. Leeds estimated their losses at £23m, but Everton reckoned it cost them £170m, citing the decreasing value of players they say they would have sold. The loophole they are confident they have got through is the decision to allow clubs Covid-19 leeway. The angry anti-board chants minutes before Leeds turned impending defeat at Brighton and Hove Albion into a draw were a taste of what is to come if things go awry.

They are playing for survival, so I expect them to show enough fight and get a positive result. Their highest-ever position is fifth in the old First Division, in 1936, and they could still make ninth this year.

Jesse Marsch was the wrong man to replace Marcelo Bielsa and he will be gone by Christmas whether Leeds United are relegated or not says Paul Robinson.

No I can’t.” “The decision was correct to change the manager at the time, but I question whether they’ve got the right person. “My personal opinion is that they were right to change Bielsa when they did, and that the change was made at the right time.

Burnley and relegation rivals Leeds United have written to the Premier League outlining concerns about Everton breaching financial rules.

An Everton spokesman, quoted in the Athletic, said: “We have worked so closely with the Premier League to make sure we are compliant and we are comfortable we have complied with the rules. The Athletic report that there are no active legal proceedings although that route is possible and that no timescale has been given on whether any sanctions will be imposed. Burnley have the superior goal difference and will stay up if they better the Whites' result at Brentford. Everton confirmed their safety in midweek when they came from two down to beat Crystal Palace 3-2 at Goodison Park.

Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday and face Premier League relegation.

For Leeds, Marsch will need to come up with a meticulous plan to keep Leeds competitive for as long as possible and try and steal a goal. The Elland Road faithful will be hopeful of a positive result, but when taking into account Brentford’s recent form and how Leeds have struggled of late there will need to be a huge shift in performance for the Whites to pick up a result. Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday [22 May].

Former Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson will go up against the Whites as a Brentford player this weekend.

Of course, I’d prefer that they were already safe, but we want to win this game and finish as high as possible.” I want to win no matter what. I still have many friends there.

Leeds will need Newcastle United to do them a favour on Sunday if they are to have any chance of staying in the Premier League.

I went back to Bournemouth as a much better manager." “We will pick our strongest team and try to win the game," Howe promised at his Friday morning press conference. We know from previous experience that we need to be mentally right.”

Weekly column. In his latest column for leedsunited.com, lifelong supporter Jon Howe reflects on the late equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Everyone has given everything, there will be nothing left, but at the moment we don’t know if that will be enough, and whether we will feel a dull bludgeon of pain or a heady shower of elation. What we know for certain is that, at the end of it all, and by 6pm on Sunday, there will be nothing in between. Finally, Leeds were able to keep 11 men on the pitch versus Brighton, and the fundamental benefits that numerical parity subsequently affords you in a game of football were clearly evident. Essentially, Struijk’s goal will either be quickly filed as a futile and meaningless statistic in our rollercoaster 103-year history, or it could be the golden ticket to an extended Premier League existence and trigger the next stage of transformational change at our football club. Leeds United’s season can be summed up for me by the scene in the film ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ where the character called ‘Dog’ barks at his hapless colleagues “can everyone stop getting shot?” In fairness, there is probably a scene from every film genre going that neatly characterises the haunted anxiety of this campaign, but this one succinctly captures the absurdity of trying to bring order to chaos when you have absolutely no control over it. The possibilities with the metaverse are almost endless, and I wonder if at some point we’ll be able to see critical moments of our lives being recreated, and be able to share them with digital versions of ourselves and our friends and family.

Leeds United winger Daniel James is facing an uncertain future after reports suggested Serie A side Atalanta have initiated 'contacts' over his transfer.

James would fit right into their vision and provide them with an extra bit of depth to support them on either flank. This comes as the prospect of Leeds being relegated is much more likely than previously thought. Before any of this happens though, the report claims Atalanta would have to conduct an ‘in-depth evaluation and analysis’ to ensure the 24-year-old is the right player for them.
