Leeds United could clinch the Championship title on the final day of the season. Their title race with Burnley has been one of the more exciting moments in the league this season.
Ahead of Saturday’s kick off, both sides are level on 97 points. And both could potentially hit the 100-point mark after winning promotion. Daniel Farke said before the game that he would love to end the season with a trophy:
”To win the title is something really special. I will try everything to try and win this title. It would be well deserved.”

The Whites have the tougher task at hand as compared to Burnley. Farke’s men are away to Plymouth, while Burnley host their final game of the season at Turf Moor. The goal difference between the two sides means that Leeds have to match Burnley’s result to lift the title.
Leeds had concerns this week before the game, but it looks like the squad is pretty much unchanged from the last few games. Pascal Struijk is the only long term absentee in the team. Sam Byram starts as Junior Firpo misses out of the squad. Dan James also absent for another game, so Harry Gray makes the bench again.

Plymouth manager Miron Muslic also revealed this week that he had some injury doubts of his own. And both players have missed out. Katic and Pleguezelo miss the final game of the campaign.
