The English football scene is heating up with Leeds United on the brink of securing a Premier League spot. They thrashed Stoke City 6-0 at home, with Piroe scoring four goals and Firpo and Gnonto adding to the tally. This win keeps Leeds top of the Championship, just a point away from automatic promotion.
Their fate will be decided this Monday, contingent on Sheffield United’s match against Burnley. If Burnley wins, both Leeds and Burnley will secure promotion. Sheffield United will then take the third spot, entering the promotion playoffs. Sunderland has already booked a playoff spot.
The remaining playoff contenders include Bristol City, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Millwall, and Blackburn. The battle for Premier League spots is intense, with several teams vying for a limited number of spots.
On the other end of the table, the relegation zone remains unchanged after the 44th round, with all bottom four teams winning their matches. Plymouth is currently at the bottom, three points behind Derby, the first team above the relegation zone. Cardiff and Luton Town are also in danger of being relegated to League One.
