Leeds United could seal Premier League promotion on Monday, with just three league games remaining. Daniel Farke’s men would have to overcome a tough task themselves to seal the deal.
Leeds have bounced back from that three-game winless run in March. A lot of things have changed in the team since then. Daniel Farke’s men have now won their last three games to move back to the top of the Championship. The Whites have 91 points, and are level with Burnley. Sheffield United are five points behind both teams.
With the Blades facing off against the Clarets on Monday, Leeds United fans could start their celebrations early. Sheffield United failing to get a result means that the Whites are mathematically guaranteed promotion.
