The Yorkshire Post's chief football writer Richard Sutcliffe and FT host Phil Harrison discuss who is most likely to win the race for automatic promotion from The Championship between Leeds United and Sheffield United

On this week’s show, Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss whether the overdue away win for Sheffield United at relegation rivals Luton Town could be the kick-start to their Premier League survival battle that the Blades so desperately need.

Is there any stopping Leeds United? So far unbeaten in the Championship in 2024, the Whites moved up to second in the standings following their 4-0 win at Swansea City, following on from their 3-0 home win over bottom club Rotherham United at the weekend.

We also cast an eye over the Millers’ dwindling chances of beating the drop back into League One after they came off second-best in a Yorkshire derby Hull City at the New York Stadium.

PLUS our panel pick their Team of the Week and Player of the Week ...

On this week’s podcast, The YP’s football writing team of Stuart Rayner and Leon Wobschall join host Mark Singleton to discuss Barnsley’s position – both in the League One table and in term of holding onto their best players during the January transfer window.

They also cast an eye over the up-and-down fortunes of Doncaster Rovers, just two games from Wembley in the EFL Trophy, but lacking the kind of consistency manager Grant McCann is seeking in League Two.

Liam Rosenior calling for patience from Hull City’s fans, how do Rotherham United begin to close the gap on the teams above them in the Championship amd why it is taking so long for Darren Moore to turn things around at Huddersfield Town are also up for discussion.

Sheffield United looked to have found the winning formula only to be denied by Fulham in a 3-3 draw at Bramall Lane meaning they now sit 10 points from safety with nine games remaining and ahead of Thuesday’s trip to Anfield to take on Premier League high-fliers, Liverpool. Is there any hope of survival?

Continuing the theme of those teams from the White Rose struggling down the bottom of the standings, Stuart Rayner, Leon Wobschall and host Mark Singleton also discuss the survival chances of Huddersfield Town and Sheffield Wednesday.

Also, it is time to salute the patience of both fans and owners at Doncaster Rovers, who made it five wins on the trot to give themselves an outside chance of making the League Two play-offs. Can they gatecrash the top seven with a continued late surge and extend their season?
