There will be a rare feeling of calm among Leeds United fans ahead of this season’s Premier League final-day trip to West Ham. It’s been a while since their club has had nothing to play for in their campaign-ending fixture while their London Stadium hosts still have survival on the line.
Whether travelling down to London or watching from home, fans can simply enjoy the conclusion of a brilliant first year back in the top-flight. It hasn’t always been so simple, however, with stakes unbearably high in recent years as Leeds either looked to reach or stay in the Premier League.
Over the last decade, Leeds have experienced everything from relegation to an added-time title-clinching goal. Below, the YEP looks back on those last 10 final regular-season fixtures throughout the years.
7. 2021/22: Brentford 1-2 Leeds

8. 2022/23: Leeds 1-4 Tottenham
Another final-day decider but with no such joy this time, Sam Allardyce's Leeds needed a win but conceded inside two minutes. A miserable day ended with relegation back to the Championship. | Getty Images
9. 2023/24: Leeds 1-2 Southampton
The Whites limped towards their play-off campaign with a flat home defeat to Southampton. That would prove an omen as after beating Norwich in the semi-finals, they lost 1-0 to the Saints at Wembley. | Getty Images

10. 2024/25: Plymouth 1-2 Leeds
With promotion secured, Leeds went to Plymouth eyeing the title and 100 points but needed to wait until the 91st minute for loanee Manor Solomon to win it. His goal sparked jubilant scenes at Home Park - mostly in the away end but also dotted throughout the home support. | Getty Images
