Leeds United is gearing up for a massive transformation of their beloved Elland Road, aiming to expand the stadium from its current 37,890 capacity to a staggering 53,000 seats. This ambitious project, estimated at £200 million, is set to enhance both the club’s finances and the fan experience. Why the Expansion is Needed Elland Road sells out nearly every match, with fans scrambling for tickets. Over 26,000 supporters are currently on the season ticket waiting list, while 20,000 members enter ballots for just 7,000 matchday tickets. The high demand leaves thousands of passionate fans unable to watch their team live,…

Leeds United left-back Junior Firpo looks set to leave Elland Road after strong rumours from Spain suggest a possible return to his former club, Real Betis. The Spanish newspaper ABC Sevilla (22 January) reports that the La Liga side has Firpo on their shortlist during this transfer window. Firpo’s Time at Leeds United Junior Firpo joined Leeds from Barcelona in 2021, but his time in West Yorkshire has been mixed. Although the Dominican Republic international has shown glimpses of quality, injuries and inconsistency have often held him back. This season under Daniel Farke, Firpo has played a key role when fit. He’s contributed to four goals across all competitions and…
As Leeds Live argued, Leeds United could face a dent as Solomon Manor is predicted to miss the incredible match against Norwich City. After playing so well to score, the forward may not rehabilitate in time and thus Daniel Farke won’t have one of his important attacking players. On the upside, there is good news regarding the fitness of Brenden Aaronson, who is most likely to play. Leeds’ creativity in attack might be negatively affected without the services of Solomon, primarily in a match where they desperately need the three points for promotion.

Leeds United’s yesterday match with Sheffield Wednesday ended with a score of 3-0 in favour of Leeds. However, their victory was in part overshadowed by another injury on the field, this time to defender Pascal Struijk. Coach Daniel Farke stated prior to the match that, in addition to his other ailments, the Dutchman has a hamstring problem as well. With him, Leeds hopes that Struijk’s absence will only be between three to four weeks. Now, they’re starting to worry that the injury entails torn tendons which will keep him sidelined for over six weeks, perhaps even three months. Farke commented…

Leeds United delivered a solid team performance in their 3-0 victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Here’s how each player rated in the game: Illan Meslier – 6/10 The French goalkeeper had a quiet afternoon with little to do. Meslier’s performance was solid but unspectacular, as Wednesday’s attacks rarely troubled him. Sam Byram – 7/10 Byram handled Wednesday’s attacking efforts well, especially on his side of the pitch. His defensive contributions were key, and he made a couple of strong interventions throughout the match. Ethan Ampadu – 6/10 Ampadu had a decent game, stepping in to make important defensive plays. While not…

This victory over Sheffield United enabled Leeds to restart its title defence which had almost been snuffed a day earlier. Goals from Manor Solomon and Largie Ramazani along with Ao Tanaka completed the win for Leeds in front of their Elland Road fans. Tanaka’s…
