    Competition - Sky Bet Championship
    Venue - Elland Road
    Date - 29 March 2025
    Kick off - 3pm


    Following their powderpuff display against automatic promotion hopefuls Burnley, next up for Alan Sheehan’s Swansea squad is arguably the most daunting match on this season’s fixture list - a trip to Title Favourites Leeds United.

    Two weeks ago, Burnley maintained their quest for one of the automatic promotion places with a comfortable victory at the Swansea.com Stsdium, and in the going stretched their unbeaten league run to 25 games.

    Burnley took charge in the opening stages when Josh Key's unfortunate error led to a simple close-range finish from captain Josh Brownhill.

    Jaidon Anthony fired Burnley's second goal high into the net midway through the first period.

    Scott Parker's team never looked like surrendering their grip on the contest as they set a new second-tier record by registering a 27th league clean sheet of the season.

    Despite this reverse, during the current international break, Alan Sheehan has been appointed Swans Boss until the end of the season.

    On the same day, Championship leaders Leeds United fought back from two goals down to earn a draw at Queens Park Rangers.

    Koki Saito and captain Steve Cook put the hosts in command but Leeds halved their deficit shortly before half-time through a Morgan Fox own goal.

    Full-back Jayden Bogle equalised early in the second half as Leeds were inspired by the half-time introduction of Willy Gnonto.

    But neither side could find a winner, although QPR winger Saito was shown a straight red card in added time for a late challenge from behind on Dan James.

    The Swans have played Leeds on 43 previous occasions, winning 12, drawing 7 but losing 24.

    In last season’s corresponding match, Leeds ran out comfortable 3-1 winners, although the Swans did take a first minute lead through Jamie Patterson:



    Turning to Saturday, I can see nothing other than a Leeds win: a 3-1 home victory the same as last season. <cheers>

    Thanks for the early preview Taff. Seems ages since our last away game on a Saturday. Nice early start at 7am. AS has his own back up team who can now offer different insight when and if needed during games. Leeds will be odds on favourites obviously but could we shock them if we turn up on the day? I never put us down to lose so its a gritty 1-1 draw for me.

    Three goal victory to Leeds. As much as I'd love to see us get something, I just can't.

    I'm still feeling queasy from the Swans rollercoaster.... this is surely going to be a deep trough. Unless we turn up and Leeds are complacent... home win for me I'm afraid.

    Would love a bit of humble pie for my tea on Saturday though :grin:
