It’s a marathon, not a sprint – but this season’s Championship promotion race has felt more like an Ironman endurance battle, an initial pack of four teams eventually shedding Sunderland, with Leeds wobbling dramatically before Sheffield United took an unexpected spill. The Blades are in action at home to Cardiff right now, and still have to visit leaders Burnley on Easter Monday.

For Leeds, the equation is simple enough. Despite a run of one victory in six after winning at Bramall Lane in February, wins over Middlesbrough and Preston have given Daniel Farke’s side a priceless advantage in the top-two race; with four games to go, they just need to keep winning and put the permutations aside.

Important Events
8 minutes: Leeds was able to handle trademarks that earned long throws, but the hosts got off to a better start. Darlow worked well to get into that Brannagan effort, but if Placheta had been able to reach the loose ball, it would have been down as a handling error.
7 minutes: He carries it forward and finds Matos. His curling efforts are paralyzed by Darrow and only avoid Pracheta with a rebound!
5 minutes: Leeds is passing the ball midfield, but Tanaka is stolen by Goodlam on the left of Oxford…
3 minutes: Now Leeds is getting a corner. I don’t know if navy is the correct word for this Leeds away kit. Cobalt maybe? indigo?
1 minute: Oxford quickly got a corner and flicked long at a nearby post. Harris is almost connected in the middle, but is flagged offside. Still, an early indication of what the host can do with the set piece.

preamble
It was a marathon, not a sprint, but this season’s championship promotional race felt like an Ironman Endurance Battle. The first pack of four teams eventually drove Sunderland, and Leeds shook dramatically before Sheffield United made an unexpected spill. The blade is working in cardiff at home Nowand still, you will need to visit Leader Burnley on Easter on Monday.
In the case of Leeds, the equation is simple enough. Daniel Farke’s team gave Daniel Farke a valuable advantage in the top two races, despite winning one 6 win after winning Bramall Lane in February. With four games, they just keep winning and put the permutations aside.
Tonight’s opponent, Oxford United, is on the verge of a relegation fight, and here he is escaping the danger of five points. Gary Lowett’s side is a tough proposal at home, winning 10 of 12 league victories this season. It was their 1-0 victory over Sheffield United that kicked off the blade slide. Can they put another spanner on the piece here tonight? Kick-off is at 8pm at BST.
