The EFL Championship promotion battle has reached fever pitch as Leeds United and Burnley both secured their return to the Premier League with two games to spare, but the race for the title is still wide open.
Burnley clinched promotion in style, defeating third-placed Sheffield United 2-1 at Turf Moor. Captain Josh Brownhill scored both goals, sealing the win and sparking jubilant celebrations among the home fans. Burnley’s defensive record is unmatched, conceding just goals in matches, the best in English professional football.
Leeds United, meanwhile, boast the league’s most potent attack, racking up goals. Their recent 6-0 demolition of Stoke City underlined their offensive power, with Joel Piroe netting four times in that rout.
Both teams now sit level at the top of the Championship table with points from games, but Leeds edge ahead on goal difference. Sheffield United, once in contention, slipped out of the automatic promotion race after suffering four losses in their last five outings, including the crucial defeat to Burnley.
With just two matches remaining, the question is: Will Leeds’ firepower or Burnley’s defensive steel decide who lifts the Championship trophy? The final games promise high drama as both clubs chase the title and momentum ahead of their Premier League return.
