Leeds United have the huge advantage heading into the final games of this championship season. Recent results have put Daniel Farke’s men in the driving seat.
Burnley’s win on Friday night meant that Leeds had to respond on Saturday. It was not an easy game facing a difficult opponent in the early kick-off, but the Whites managed to navigate it. A crazy first half against Preston was enough to secure the result. Manor Solomon gave Leeds the lead with an incredible strike only for the visitors to equalize minutes later. Jayden Bogle popped up with a crucial goal to seal the result early in the game.
Elsewhere, results benefitted the Whites in a big way. Sheffield United dropped points to bottom placed Plymouth. Two late goals from the pilgrims stunned the Blades on Saturday.

With four games left, Burnley and Leeds United seem to be locked for automatic promotion. Sheffield United have an outside chance, but anything can still happen. Scott Parker’s side will not have any more complaints about the fixture schedule in these final games.
Burnley’s final four fixtures: Watford, Sheffield United, QPR, Milwall
Burnley will face Sheffield United in one of their upcoming fixtures. The Blades have an outside chance of automatic promotion, now five points behind. Chris Wilder could have a big say in who gets promoted, and who wins the league. The Blades visit Turf Moor in a week, and with Wilder’s men having the second best away record in the league, there could be fireworks next weekend.

What a dumb article. You don’t mention that Burnley have the best away record in the division.
Great away record. Losing to the basement club
