Leeds United will conclude their Championship campaign by travelling to Devon to face Plymouth Argyle at Home Park. Under the guidance of manager Daniel Farke, the Whites have already secured promotion back to the Premier League and enter the final fixture in pursuit of the league title.
Neck-and-Neck Title Race
Leeds and Burnley head into the last day level on 97 points. Victory for either side would see them finish on 100 points, marking one of the highest tallies in Championship history. Sheffield United trail by eight points, making the top-two showdown the decisive contest for the trophy.
Farke’s Squad Developments
In an injury update ahead of the match, Farke indicated that Dan James and Junior Firpo are doubts for the trip to Plymouth. Despite these potential absences, the squad remains confident of clinching their first league title in over a century.
Pundit Predictions
Sky Sports commentator David Prutton joined the Essential EFL podcast to forecast the outcome. Prutton praised Leeds’ composure under pressure, noting their strong home performances and asserting that the team’s momentum will carry them through. He predicted a 2-0 victory for the Whites against a tenacious Plymouth side.
Prutton highlighted Leeds’ “real swagger” and applauded the club’s rebuild following last season’s near-miss. He suggested that, economically and in terms of squad depth, Leeds have met the benchmark of promotion and are poised to lift the Championship trophy.
Celebrations and Parade Plans
Should Leeds secure the title at Home Park, the club has laid out arrangements for a celebratory open-top bus parade on Monday. The route will traverse key city thoroughfares including the Headrow, City Square, Boar Lane, New Market Street, parts of Wellington Street and Vicar Lane. The procession is scheduled to start at approximately 1pm and last up to 90 minutes, offering supporters their first proper promotion celebration since 2020.
Looking Ahead
With promotion guaranteed and the title hanging in the balance, Leeds United can prepare for life back in the Premier League. Plans to expand Elland Road’s capacity are already progressing, reflecting optimism for sustained success at the top level.
