GIVEN the epic history of Yorkshire clubs – for better and worse – on the final day of seasons, then Leeds United supporters better strap themselves in and ...
On the previous two weekends to those events in Watford, there were enough twists and turns to keep a Hollywood scriptwriter busy. The rest is history. As an encore at Brentford, there was a crazy evening on the final night of the Championship season in 2019-20, which ended in Barnsley producing one of the greatest ‘Great Escapes’ from relegation of all time. And what about poor Scarborough in 1999 when the Seasiders were relegated at the death following the heroics of Carlisle keeper Jimmy Glass, who will never have to dip his hand into his pocket whenever he walks into a bar in the Cumbrian city after his last-gasp goal against Plymouth. The sight of the Reds’ keeper and captain Luke Steele, a son of Peterborough, with the ball at his feet in open play for two minutes at the end with home and away players urging him to keep it – after news of events at Selhurst Park filtered back to Yorkshire – was utterly bizarre. The substitute entered into Rovers folklore after taking a penalty that Bees captain Kevin O’Connor was supposed to take after the hosts were awarded a spot-kick in front of their expectant fans in the Ealing Road end in the fourth minute of stoppage-time and looked set to pip the visitors to automatic promotion.
Here, we round up all the main Whites headlines in one place through our Friday morning round-up ahead of Sunday's season finale at Brentford.
The critical ambition which will sway Kalvin Phillips' Leeds United decision, according to a former Premier League star Leeds United's final day hosts Brentford will be without a key defender for Sunday's showdown against the relegation-battling Whites. Leeds United's bid for Premier League survival is out of their own hands heading into Sunday's final day of the campaign.
The last relegation spot will be filled by either Leeds United or Burnley heading into final day of the Premier League season.
While there's every chance Brentford and Newcastle could be 'on the beach' both sides do still have something to play for, meaning Burnley and Leeds will both be in for a challenging Sunday in their final games of the Premier League season. The Bees have picked up a whopping 22 points from a possible 30 since March and will be looking to finish off their debut Premier League campaign in style in front of their home fans. However, they do have a vastly worse goal difference, meaning that even a win for Leeds on the final day against Brentford away could still see Jesse Marsch's side relegated if Burnley beat Newcastle at Turf Moor.
Leeds United versus Brentford is one of just three games Sky Sports will broadcast on the final day of the Premier League season this Sunday.
Burnley have a superior goal difference of plus-20 to Leeds, meaning that a win for the Clarets over Newcastle will see them safe. A draw could keep them up should Burnley lose to Newcastle, but three points would be far more preferable than just one. Leeds United's clash against Brentford will be one of three televised games on Sky Sports for their final day of the season Premier League coverage this Sunday.

The game between the teams in Yorkshire earlier this season ended in a 2-2 draw. Brentford will be looking to end their first Premier League season with a top half finish.
