Leeds United have won promotion to the Premier League, and could add the perfect finish to the season this weekend. The Whites are top of the table and need a win to seal the league title.
Their rivals Burnley are level on points, but Daniel Farke’s men have a superior goal difference. This gives Leeds an advantage on the final day as all they have to do is match the Clarets’ result to win the Championship. The Whites will be away from Elland Road on the final day of the season. Farke’s men will not have the added boost home advantage has given them all season – Leeds have won over 58.6% of their points there.
Burnley on the other hand will be at Turf Moor, as they host Millwall. But Scott Parker’s side will be without key forward Zian Flemming.

Leeds also have some problems of their own – Daniel Farke revealed there are injury doubts ahead of Saturday. Junior Firpo, Dan James and Isaac Schmidt are among those who will face a race against time to be fit.
Plymouth also suffered some setbacks during the week. Pilgrims boss Miron Muslic has confirmed two major doubts ahead of this weekend. Nikola Katic and Jordan Houghton are the latest names set to be out for the game.
”there’s absolutely no chance I think to have Nikola involved in the starting XI, he still can’t move properly and there’s some fast players upfront at Leeds United.
“Jordan Houghton is also still a doubt so I think four to five players we had in the starting XI already or are entering as game changers won’t be available.
“But okay, other players as always have to step in and do their tasks.”
Darko Gyabi will also be ineligible to play against his parent club.
Should be an easy win for Leeds
Plymouth will be without up to five players on Saturday. The club have also been relegated – but that has not been mathematically confirmed. Leeds have to show up and play to win, to top their season off with a trophy.
