We’re a little disappointed not to get the three. "The players are used to going to these places where they have to dig. While Leeds have fared reasonably well since returning to the Premier League, Burnley have become accustomed to battling for survival. This is a tough place to come. The Clarets pinched a vital point in a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa to leapfrog Leeds before the final round of domestic fixtures are played out this weekend. Although safety is far from assured, a point means Burnley will head into the weekend with their fate in their own hands.

Leeds’ will be looking for the likes of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha to step up and produce something special on what could be a future defining day for the club. Jesse Marsch’s side will be relegated if they fail to better Burnley’s result on the final day of the season at Brentford.

The Clarets earned an all-important point away against Aston Villa in midweek which helped them to leapfrog Leeds United in the Premier League table.

We’re at home, it is in our hands but we know that there is a lot of hard work to go, 90 more minutes of work to achieve what we want to. But in terms of all those things you need at this stage of the season, I have seen that again tonight. Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson was happy with his side's battling point against Aston Villa which helped the Clarets leapfrog Leeds United out of the relegation zone with just one Premier League game left to play.

Burnley and Leeds are all battling for survival in the Premier League. Jake Osgathorpe has all you need to know for the relegation fight, including a data ...

Only in games against West Ham ( 2.86 xGA) and Tottenham (2.34) - two of the top seven - have Burnley looked exposed defensively, allowing 1.22 xGA per game across their other five fixtures, so all the signs are there that they are a better side post-Dyche. The Infogol model gives the Whites a 23% chance of winning at Brentford on the final day, and a 44% chance of avoiding defeat, meaning more likely than not they will need Burnley to slip up drastically if they are to survive. Leeds are in the bottom three heading into the last day of the season, and know they have to better Burnley's result to have any chance of staying in the division. The Whites have picked up 12 points from a possible 33, but have played three of the top five in that time, and even if we include those games their underlying process has been at a level we have come to expect from Leeds over the last few years ( 1.51 xGF, 1.59 xGA per game). Leeds moved back into the relegation zone after Burnley drew at Aston Villa, with the Clarets having a far superior goal difference to the Whites and know they will survive if they match Leeds' result on Sunday.

Leeds United have an advantage heading into Sunday's (22 May) relegation decider after rescuing a draw against Brighton last weekend.

Because of their poor goal difference, a win would not keep Leeds in the Premier League if Burnley also beat Newcastle. “It makes such a difference and I honestly think it is a massive advantage going into this last game. The goal sent Elland Road into raptures and assured the Whites would not be heading into their final game of the season following a defeat.

Leeds head to the Brentford Community Stadium in the bottom three and needing to better Burnley's result against Newcastle to avoid the drop.

“Jesse Marsch still wants to press and combine but it is a little bit more zonal. In many ways it has been a remarkable season for us. I haven’t seen any other manager doing it like Bielsa and that’s why he’s a big inspiration for both me, and a lot of other coaches across the world. There has been a lot to celebrate and now they need to cheer us on for the last time this season. Hopefully we can give them a good performance. “I know we will focus on trying to win it, as we have done any other game.

The teams last met in the 2019/20 season, which was interrupted and extended by the Covid-19 outbreak. Patrick Bamford equalised in stoppage time for the hosts but injured himself celebrating and has only played 100 minutes for Leeds in six-and-a-half months since. Leeds come to West London without a win in five matches. Leeds had taken 11 points from five matches before three straight defeats to Manchester City, Arsenal and Chelsea in an 11-day spell. 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.

However, according to 'Commonplace' : 'The closure of City Square to general traffic, subject to final approval, will enable public transport, walking, cycling ...

So protecting spaces in the city centre isn't a bad place to start. We would love to know what you think about the proposed upcoming closure of City Square and whether or not this should pave the way to a more pedestrianised city.

It's a long-term project and the club committed to me in that way. "The connections we have made mesh well together. The 30-year-old has started eight games, with the Bees winning six of them. We will come with everything." We have a chance to go top 10 so we will do that. The draw left the Bees in 12th and Leeds in 14th, six points clear of the drop zone.

“It would be easier if we knew we were locked in the Premier League but there is one match to focus on. (We need) to do whatever we can to get the points.” (It is) better when we control our fate, but that’s not the case. I knew we’d have to fight for everything.

I give it the respect its due but, in a way, I give it the anger when I need to - just like Leeds United need to do tomorrow!’ I have started a foundation, Ahead of the Game, because I want to be one step ahead in my recovery. ‘I’m back for a scan in three months,' says the dad of three. When you lose a player like Mark, what chance do you have of getting back in the game? ‘Some fans say they shouldn’t have sacked Bielsa (in February). But the way we were playing, we were only going one way. Things could be better, but I’m OK. I do the best I can with my wife and kids. Bielsa was replaced by Jesse Marsch but the American’s results have been mixed. ‘You can be up for the fight, but don’t do anything stupid. Whether that was Marcelo Bielsa (former manager) or the board, I don’t know. ‘I carried that relegation around with me for 16 years until we got promoted back to the Premier League. I felt like I was responsible in a way, which I was. It captured the growing frustration of a talented group.

“External auditors have told us what we can and cannot claim against the pandemic. On Sunday the Whites travel to Brentford and Burnley host Newcastle, as their 2022/23 fates are decided. If they believe they maybe would have been able to sell Cenk Tosun for £60m in a non-Covid environment that's their call.

The Rhinos are now four unbeaten at home after a 20-6 win over Wakefield Trinity.

James Bentley - 7 : Showed the offensive qualities he no doubt possess finishing off two well-worked tries. His effort in defence was astonishing However, he was sin binned again and will likely be banned again. Came up with two relieving long kicks in the second-half. Just on occasion took the wrong option in attack that frustrated his teammates. James Donaldson - 6 : A rare start and ensured Leeds started energetically. Zak Hardaker - 7.5 : Had a shaky start with a dropped ball but did a good job in helping Leeds build pace at the start of their sets.

A look at how an unlikely rivalry has developed between Brentford and Leeds in recent seasons.

With both sides were vying for automatic promotion, Leeds had hit a wall in their season and entered the game at Griffin Park in terrible form. That was also the first time Thomas Frank had taken charge of a match with Leeds following his appointment earlier in the season. Striker Ollie Watkins won a penalty for the Bees in which replays showed there was minimal, if any contact at all. That means Leeds head to west London needing a result against a side that an unlikely rivalry has been built in recent seasons. The first game which ignited the flame came back in February 2018, when neither side had any real aspirations of achieving promotion. Leeds United head to Brentford this weekend in a season finale that will decide their Premier League fate.

Grace Mclean, from Roundhay in Leeds, got her revenge with a video of her chucking his clothes in the hotel pool going viral.

"When I came home I felt so rubbish. I didn’t even want to go to Egypt but she said come as friends. I was scared he was going to run around the pool and launch me in. I was so annoyed. A true girl boss." "I didn't believe it all at first. "I wasn't bothered about the consequences. "We agreed to be civil but we weren't very civil really. "I was so fuming,” she said. He thought it was really funny and was calling me all sorts of names. I thought 'he's not going to make a fool of me and get away with it'. Grace Mclean claims a mystery party girl contacted her saying she slept with Matt, whose name has been changed, while he was away on an Ibiza lads' holiday last month.

New Leeds boss Rohan Smith has his first win. In the squelching rain, his Rhinos managed the conditions in a vital West Yorkshire derby to get back to ...

In their last three home games, Leeds have only conceded 20 points – a fair cry from earlier in the season. He, Handley and Fusitu’a in Leeds’ back three combined well to start sets effectively with exciting passages of play which routinely threatened to carve Trinity up. What stuck out especially in the first half was the lack of times two great wingers in Ash Handley and David Fusitu’a had opportunities near the Wakefield line. Fortunately, for Trinity their try came thanks to Jai Whitbread who powered over from close range. James Bentley scored a pair of almost identical tries to get Leeds going. New Leeds boss Rohan Smith has his first win.

Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday and face Premier League relegation.

For Leeds, Marsch will need to come up with a meticulous plan to keep Leeds competitive for as long as possible and try and steal a goal. The Elland Road faithful will be hopeful of a positive result, but when taking into account Brentford’s recent form and how Leeds have struggled of late there will need to be a huge shift in performance for the Whites to pick up a result. Commentator Sam Matterface believes Leeds United will fall to a damaging defeat against Brentford on Sunday [22 May].

Former Leeds United defender Pontus Jansson will go up against the Whites as a Brentford player this weekend.

Of course, I’d prefer that they were already safe, but we want to win this game and finish as high as possible.” I want to win no matter what. I still have many friends there.

Weekly column. In his latest column for leedsunited.com, lifelong supporter Jon Howe reflects on the late equaliser against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.

Everyone has given everything, there will be nothing left, but at the moment we don’t know if that will be enough, and whether we will feel a dull bludgeon of pain or a heady shower of elation. What we know for certain is that, at the end of it all, and by 6pm on Sunday, there will be nothing in between. Finally, Leeds were able to keep 11 men on the pitch versus Brighton, and the fundamental benefits that numerical parity subsequently affords you in a game of football were clearly evident. Essentially, Struijk’s goal will either be quickly filed as a futile and meaningless statistic in our rollercoaster 103-year history, or it could be the golden ticket to an extended Premier League existence and trigger the next stage of transformational change at our football club. Leeds United’s season can be summed up for me by the scene in the film ‘Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels’ where the character called ‘Dog’ barks at his hapless colleagues “can everyone stop getting shot?” In fairness, there is probably a scene from every film genre going that neatly characterises the haunted anxiety of this campaign, but this one succinctly captures the absurdity of trying to bring order to chaos when you have absolutely no control over it. The possibilities with the metaverse are almost endless, and I wonder if at some point we’ll be able to see critical moments of our lives being recreated, and be able to share them with digital versions of ourselves and our friends and family.

He might as well stay put at Elland Road if there’s no big offer on the table or Barcelona back out. Raphinha has scored 10 goals and provided three assists in the league this season, and Leeds will rely on him to deliver once again. Raphinha wants to leave the club, and his first choice is Barcelona. However, he wants to do it in the right way, and prevent the club from getting relegated.
