EFL make Leeds United announcement after Watford win
Leeds United secured an emphatic three points against Watford last time out, with the EFL making a fresh announcement after the game.
Leeds walked away from Vicarage Road in style, having secured a 4-0 victory against Watford as their quest for automatic promotion goes on.
As things stand, Leeds remain in the driving seat of the Championship with a five-point gap between themselves and Burnley in third place.
Dan James was the star of the show against The Hornets, with the Welshman mentioned in the latest announcement made by the EFL.
Leeds trio make Championship Team of the Week
Given the dominant performance and ruthlessness in front of goal, it should come as no surprise to see three Whites stars named in the Championship Team of the Week.
James, who has been a standout figure all season for Leeds, was named in the 11 alongside teammates Joel Piroe and Manor Solomon.
Piroe dispatched his 14th goal of the season against the Hornets while Solomon took his total goal contribution tally up to 14 for the campaign.
It was yet another huge win for Leeds, who will be looking to repeat the trick when they host Sunderland on Monday night.
Promotion beckons for the Whites
Leeds are in an excellent position to achieve their ultimate goal of promotion, having shown no signs of slowing down as of late.
Goals are coming thick and fast while teams are finding it remarkably hard to get a foothold in their encounters with the Whites and it bodes very well for the remainder of the campaign.
Monday night’s clash with Sunderland could be a huge game for the promotion picture. A win for Leeds would dramatically increase their chances of a top-two finish, but a defeat would bring them straight back into the relentless fight between four sides.
It certainly promises to be an exciting yet anxiety-filled encounter with so much on the line for both sides, who have the same ambitions for the end of the campaign.
If Leeds can replicate their performance from Watford, three points will be more than achievable, but they must remain aware of the threat posed by the Black Cats.
