LATEST UPDATE: Despite being loaned to Leeds United, the £5 million player recently made his best contribution since joining in 2022.

Sunderland and Sheffield United both lost points this weekend, adding another twist to the race for automatic promotion. Leeds United remains in first place despite their match on Monday.

At Bramall Lane, Joe Gelhardt’s new team, Hull City, thrashed Sheffield United. If Leeds does eventually get promoted, this unexpected outcome might prove to be a significant factor at the conclusion of the season.

Despite the disappointing outcome, Chris Wilder insisted that Sheffield United still in the running. Regis Le Bris, meanwhile, talked about how “tough” the Championship is after Plymouth put Sunderland behind them.

Leeds is one point ahead of Sheffield United in first place as a result of the two outcomes. Before Monday night’s match, Leeds and Burnley, who are in third position, are separated by three points, while Le Bris’ Sunderland is in fourth.
