Boro boss Michael Carrick has a chance to spoil Leeds' evening, as the Whites enter a crucial game against Middlesbrough. After a strong start to the year, Leeds have stumbled and are in danger of finishing third in a three-horse race. They have only managed to pick up one point in their last three games, causing immense pressure for them to get their automatic promotion drive back on track.
A win against Middlesbrough would put them in second place, just one point behind Leicester and one above Ipswich. However, they have played one more game than their rivals and face two tough matches to close out the regular season. Their first challenge is a trip to QPR, who are still fighting to secure their spot in the league, followed by a home game against Southampton who are still in the running for automatic promotion.
Leeds manager Daniel Farke is feeling the heat as his team's recent form has not been up to par. In contrast, Boro have been on a nine-game unbeaten streak, with five wins and four draws. They have also kept a clean sheet in their last three home games, which will be a tough obstacle for Leeds to overcome. The pressure on Farke's team is immense and Boro are favored to come out on top with odds of 16/5.
Meanwhile, Ivory Coast striker Emmanuel Latte Lath has been in top form, scoring seven goals in his last nine games. He is available at 17/2 to open the scoring and 3/1 to score at any time. A goal from Lath could further damage Leeds' chances of securing a spot in the Premier League next season.
In other news, the NFL draft is set to begin on Thursday and all eyes are on quarterback JJ McCarthy. There is intense speculation about which team will select him, with Minnesota, New England, and the New York Giants all being linked. The Minnesota Vikings are favored to trade up and draft him with the fifth pick, with odds of 13/8. In the world of snooker, Gary Wilson, Mark Williams, and Robert Milkins are favored to win their first-round matches in a treble. And finally, Luca Brecel has admitted he is glad to lose his Crucible crown to Dave Gilbert, while Manchester City edged out Chelsea to reach the FA Cup final.
