Plymouth v Leeds preview: Team news, where to watch, supercomputer prediction
Leeds United have already secured automatic promotion to the Premier League but a win against Plymouth Argyle on Saturday would secure them going up as champions.
Although things have been positive at Elland Road since promotion, there has been plenty of speculation over the future of Daniel Farke, with some anxiety over his previous top-flight record.
With that in mind, this could be the final opportunity for the boss to show the 49ers what he is made of and make a case for him to be retained in West Yorkshire.
Preview
Leeds come into this clash on the back of a 4-0 win over Bristol City on Monday (28 April), having beaten Stoke City 6-0 in the game prior.
Therefore, Farke will have no worries about his side’s abilities to hit the back of the net.
Whether the boss stays put or not, there are expected to be several changes at Elland Road over the summer transfer window, meaning this could be a goodbye for a number of players at Leeds.
With that in mind, the squad will certainly be keen to end the season on a high and while it may not be necessary, depending on Burnley’s result, a win will definitely secure a champions medal, which is plenty of motivation.
| Team | Position | Goal Difference | Points |
| Leeds United | 1 | 64 | 97 |
| Burnley | 2 | 51 | 97 |
Meanwhile, Plymouth come into this game sitting 23rd in the table and although they are not mathematically relegated yet, the odds certainly look against them, with goal difference the only way they can secure another season of Championship football.

Team news
Leeds will remain without star man Dan James for their final game of the season, as he misses out through injury.
Joe Rothwell and Pascal Struijk are also on the sidelines nursing injuries, meaning Farke will have to cope without both.
Junior Firpo is reported to have a tight hamstring heading into the game, so he could be a doubt, but given it could be his last game for Leeds, he may get on the pitch for one final time.
Plymouth aren’t set to have any boost ahead of this game and will be missing Nikola Katic, Matthew Sorinola and Brendan Galloway, who are all nursing injuries.
Predicted lineups
Plymouth Argyle: Hazard, Palsson, Edwards, Pleguezuelo, Szucs, Gyabi, Randell, Mumba, Hardie, Bundu, Tijani.
Leeds United: Darlow, Bogle, Rodon, Ampadu, Firpo, Tanaka, Gruev, Ramazani, Gnonto, Solomon, Piroe.
Where to watch
Leeds have been subject to a fair few early kick-offs this season and they end the season with another at the other end of the country.
The good news is that the game is available to watch via Sky Sports +, with kick-off at 12:30.
