Leeds United's final 7 fixtures compared to promotion rivals with huge advantage over Burnley

Leeds United continue to falter in the Championship promotion race and Saturday’s 2-2 draw against Swansea City piled on further pressure. Daniel Farke’s side twice went ahead at Elland Road but twice conceded, the latter a crushing 96th-minute equaliser in which several players were at fault.

Victories for Sheffield United and Burnley now leave Leeds hanging onto their automatic promotion place by a thread, with only goal difference separating them and the third-placed Clarets. Chris Wilder’s Blades are now two points clear at the top but as Farke pointed out following Saturday’s draw, his side’s two main rivals still have each other to play.
