Leeds United and Burnley Secure Premier League Promotion, Sheffield United Set for Play-Offs
Leeds United and Burnley sealed their return to the Premier League on Monday, leaving Sheffield United to contend with the Championship play-offs after a poor run of form.
Daniel Farke’s Leeds produced a dominant 6-0 win over Stoke City, while Burnley clinched promotion with a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Sheffield United in the evening fixture. The results confirmed both teams will compete in England’s top flight next season.
With 94 points each, Leeds and Burnley are now out of reach of third-placed Sheffield United, who sit on 86 points and have managed just one win in their last five matches.
Leeds return to the Premier League after two seasons in the Championship, showing resilience and consistency under Farke's management. Burnley, led by Scott Parker, bounce back to the top division at the first attempt following their relegation last year.
The two clubs will now focus on securing the Championship title, while Sheffield United must regroup quickly ahead of the high-stakes play-offs.
