Leeds United will play last on both Good Friday and Easter Monday in scheduling that ensures they play each game with the full weight of their rivals on their backs
Easter has long been a make-or-break weekend in the EFL calendar for teams at both ends of the three league tables. Those two matches across four days, so close to the end of the season, sort the men from the boys year in, year out.
Most recently, Leeds United fans will remember 2019’s ill-fated double-header with Wigan Athletic and Brentford. Marcelo Bielsa’s maiden campaign disintegrated across 96 hours, proving his side were not ready for automatic promotion. While this time around feels far less stressed and chaotic under Daniel Farke, Sky Sports has again had its wicked way with the schedule. If Leeds are going to come away from Easter with their promotion fate still in their own hands, they are going to do it with the full weight of their rivals on their back.On both Good Friday and Easter Monday, the broadcasters have chosen to put the Whites on last with 8pm kick-offs.
In a commendable effort to at least preserve the same recovery time for each side, Leicester host Norwich City in Easter Monday’s lunchtime slot, Ipswich and Southampton then play out what could be a classic at 5.30pm, before Hull City visit Elland Road at 8pm. On both days, Leeds are going to know exactly what their rivals have done, good or bad.
If the earlier results do not go United’s way, we are going to see exactly what pressure does to them.
