Leeds United head into the final game of the season with the Championship on the line. Following their promotion to the Premier League last week, the Whites can end their season on a high with the league trophy.
Daniel Farke’s men will have to go through Plymouth to do it. Leeds will be away from home, but they face Miron Muslic’s side who are in the relegation zone. Plymouth have not been mathematically relegated yet, but they will need to beat Leeds and hope a 14-goal swing occurs in their favour.
Burnley host Millwall in their final game of the season. The Clarets’ are level on points with Leeds, but Daniel Farke’s side have a superior goal difference that will count on Saturday.

Daniel Farke revealed that some players could miss out on the Plymouth game on Saturday. Some players are still struggling to be fit in time for the game. Dan James has not played since picking up a knock at Middlesbrough, and Junior Firpo will be a close call.
Farke revealed that Friday’s training session will determine if any of these players feature against Plymouth:
“Firpo has some light hamstring problems after the last game and it will be a tight call. He has not been able to train, he could train tomorrow.
“Dan James has slightly improved, but also today – no team training. If he is in team training tomorrow, of course he will travel with us tomorrow due to his importance. But another tight race for him,”
Leeds are currently on 97 points, and could potentially hit the 100-point mark on Saturday.
Daniel Farke has replacements ready
If Dan James and Junior Firpo miss out, they will have replacements ready for the weekend. Since James go injured, Gnonto has stepped up and showed his quality in attack. Largie Ramazani is also in contention to start after his brace off the bench on Monday.
Sam Byram would be the natural replacement for Firpo on Saturday, as Isaac Schmidt also has a knock.
