Follow live coverage as Leeds United face Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship today. An increasingly competitive second tier in English football remains an intense and exciting competition, with the prize of a place in the Premier League on offer at the end of the season.

Crisis, what crisis? Leeds boss Daniel Farke had given his full backing to goalkeeper Illan Meslier after he came under criticism for his mistakes in the 3-3 draw at Hull City in the Championship a fortnight ago.

Strikes either side of half-time from Manor Solomon, Largie Ramazani and Ao Tanaka helped the Whites claim their first Championship win of 2025. The three points lifted the Whites back to the top of the Championship, three points clear of third-placed Burnley.

Sheff Weds: Beadle (GK), Lowe, Bernard, Ingelsson (Johnson 54’), Bannan (C), Windass (Ugbo 79’), Ihiekwe (Valentin 71’), Valery, Gassama, Charles, Musaba (Paterson 79’). Subs not used: Charles (GK), Palmer, J. Lowe, Kobacki, Otegbayo.

The Owls were well in the game at Elland Road and a 3-0 defeat was rough on them on the balance of play. They caused the league leaders problems which made for an anxious atmosphere for the home side, who have lost just once on their own patch all season but their shortcomings in attack were apparent, with just one shot on target in the whole game.

In better news, top scorer Joel Piroe is back after missing last weekend's 1-0 FA Cup thrid round win over Harrogate Town with muscle complaints. He is expected to start the match, as is Illan Meslier, despite his blunder against Hull City last time out.

Leeds United moved back to the top of the Championship with a 3-0 victory over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday. The home side made an ideal start at Elland Road, going in front when Manor Solomon hammered home just three minutes in after Owls goalkeeper James Beadle failed to intercept a raking pass from Brenden Aaronson.
