Leeds United can enjoy another week in the automatic promotion places following Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Preston North End. Daniel Farke’s side looked set for another 1-0 defeat on the road courtesy of Brad Potts’ first-half finish, but their refusal to give up forced Jack Whatmough into an added-time own-goal which ensured the spoils were shared at Deepdale.
That point briefly put Leeds into first place again but Sheffield United swiftly reclaimed their spot after beating Plymouth Argyle. It’s all still so tight teams battle for automatic promotion and everyone will be looking at the festive schedule as a chance to open up some breathing space.
