Leeds United heads to Plymouth Argyle on Saturday with promotion already secured and the title still up for grabs. Sitting level on 97 points with Burnley but boasting a superior goal difference, Daniel Farke’s side need only match Burnley’s result at home to Millwall to claim the Championship crown.
Even in the event of a defeat, Leeds could still be crowned champions if Burnley fail to win. Regardless of other outcomes, Farke’s team will be aiming to hit 100 points—a milestone never before achieved by the club. Plymouth, by contrast, find themselves effectively relegated; they sit just three points above the drop zone but would require an improbable 14-goal swing and multiple rival defeats to stay up.
Celebration Arrangements at Home Park
Plymouth Argyle has announced plans for an on-pitch ceremony should Leeds secure the title at Home Park. A small stage will be erected in front of the away end, allowing the victorious squad to celebrate with travelling supporters once the Argyle players have left the field, in keeping with league traditions.
Fitness Concerns Ahead of Final Match
Leeds faces several injury doubts heading into the season finale. Isaac Schmidt was absent from the midweek squad due to a knee issue, leaving his participation uncertain. Dan James has indicated only a “slim chance” of featuring because of a hamstring problem suffered at Middlesbrough. Additionally, Pascal Struijk has been ruled out for the rest of the campaign, while Joe Rothwell continues his recovery from a calf injury sustained just before the fixture at Luton Town.
