WHAT LARRY NANCE JR. POSTED

<p>Even though Leeds United thoroughly beat Stoke City 6-0, they had to wait until Sheffield United faced Burnley on Monday night before they could confirm their promotion. The Blades were eight points behind the Peacocks with three games left and could have potentially overtaken them. However, a 2-1 loss to second place Burnley ensured that both the Elland Road side and<em> the Clarets</em> will finish in the top two spots.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>While their promotion to the Premier League is officially confirmed, Leeds United still have two games left on their calendar in order to claim the Championship title. They sit level on points with Burnley (94), with only goal difference (60 to 46) keeping the Peacocks in first place at the moment. Daniel Farke’s side faces Bristol City on April 28 at Elland Road and then finishes off their 2024-25 season on the road against Plymouth Argyle on May 2.</p>
