Premier
League:
Red & White rose
day
Both automatic promotion spots in the Championship were
confirmed on Monday; a 6-0 win by Leeds United over Stoke City and a
2-1 victory for Burnley against Sheffield United meaning that Premier
League football returns to Elland Road and Turf Moor in 2025/26.
With two games to play, the two promoted sides are level on points, although
Daniel Farkes Whites enjoy a far superior goal difference to Scott Parker's
Clarets.
Sheffield United and the mackems will contest the playoffs, along with two
from Bristol City, Coventry City, Boro, Millwall and Blackburn Rovers.
West Bromwich Albion retain a mathematical chance of doing so, but don't
rate their own chances of that, dismissing manager Tony Mowbray on
Monday.
Ipswich Town are set to join Southampton and Leicester City in dropping out
of the top flight, while Everton are now mathematically safe - meaning that
Bramley Moor Dock will become the 61st ground to stage PL games.

(h)
United play their final 3pm kick-off of the season on
Saturday, hosting an Ipswich side who will be relegated from the
Premier League if they fail to win, although results elsewhere
could end their top-flight stay regardless of the outcome at Gallowgate.
Team: Lewis Hall and Jamaal Lascelles remain out, but there's optimism
that Sven Botman could return.
Fabian Schar is an early doubt following his withdrawal during the loss at
Villa, although that was described as precautionary to combat a hamstring
concern.

Harrison Ashby
(QPR):
The defender played 53 minutes of a 1-2 home defeat by his former club
Swansea City in the Championship on Monday, collecting a yellow card. As has
been the case in recent games, he switched across to left back.
Isaac Hayden
(Portsmouth):
Pompey secured their place in the Championship thanks to a 1-0 home win
over Watford on Monday, Isaac completing the entire game.
Alex Murphy
(Bolton Wanderers):
A 2-4 loss at Lincoln City on Monday effectively ended Bolton's League One
playoff hopes. Alex completed the game, headed home for his second goal of
the season.
Charlie McArthur (Carlisle United):
It ended all square in the clash of the League Two relegation candidates on
Monday, Carlisle coming from behind to claim a 1-1 draw at Accrington Stanley.
Defender Charlie was an unused replacement.
Joe White
(MK Dons):
New MK boss Paul Warne named Joe as a substitute for Monday's trip to Crewe Alexandra,
bringing him on just after the hour with his side 1-0 up. That was the final
score, three points retained MK's League Two status.
Max Thompson
(Chesterfield):
Max watched his side's 3-3 home draw with Bradford City on Monday from his
usual place on the bench, the Spireites still in with a faint chance of
reaching the League Two playoffs.
James Huntley
(Spennymoor Town):
A 2-0 win at South Shields on Monday leaves Moors with a mathematical chance
of sneaking into the National League North playoffs on the last day of the
season this Saturday. James remains sidelined with a knee injury.
Travis Hernes
(AaB):
The midfielder played 55 minutes of Sunday's 2-3 home defeat to Sonderjyske
in the Danish SuperLiga.

goalkeeper George starting a 3-2 win over Japan on Tuesday and a 1-3 loss to
Portugal on Saturday.
Midfielder Sam meanwhile was named in the line-up for Thursday's 0-3 defeat

games).

On This Day in History |
|
21st April |
|
Born Or Died:
1963 Death of Jackie "Jock" Rutherford,
78. (1902-13)
Percy-Main born England International who won three
Championships and one FA Cup winner's medal for Newcastle.
Nicknamed "The Newcastle Flyer", Jackie died in Neasden, North
London where he'd settled after ending his playing career with Arsenal and
then Clapton Orient.
2007
Joe Brayson born, Newcastle.
(2022-present) 
The son of ex-Magpie Paul - and a forward like his dad, schoolboy Joe made
his U18 bow in a 2-2 draw at Manchester United during October
2022.
Scoring his first goal at that level against Derby County the following August, Brayson debuted for the U21s during a 1-2 EFL Trophy loss at Crewe Alexandra in November 2023.
The 2024/25 campaign saw him feature at both U18 and U21 level, getting off
the mark for the latter with a brace against Stoke City in April 2025.

Stoke put United
a point behind leaders Everton with a game in hand. The
Toffees had lost 0-2 at Manchester City.
According to press
reports, boarding around the pitch gave way,
resulting in several persons being thrown to the ground.

United were defeated at the Crystal Palace for the
second time in as many years, Alex "Sandy" Young
scoring the vital goal.
Despite the result
however, both teams still dined together the following
evening.
The Yorkshire Post commented that,
"There were times when, to the onlooker,
the men from Tyneside seemed to be suffering from
incipient paralysis."
Unfortunately that wouldn't be the last time that our

Not a great end
to the league campaign but this was a dress rehearsal for
the following week's FA Cup final between the two clubs.
While Villa were at full strength, United named nine
reserves and were subsequently fined for fielding a
weakened team.
First choice custodian Sandy Mutch kept his place in the
side but suffered a knee injury during this match with the
score at 1-3.
His place was taken by Andy Aitken - who
then conceded a rapid hat trick of goals from Villa's
inside forward Billy Walker.
Mutch missed out on playing in the final as a consequence
of his ailment.

Having suffered 1-6 and 0-7 losses in their previous
two visits to Gallowgate, Arsenal were on the receiving
end of a similar level of attacking from United - but
without any level of shooting accuracy.
The visitors went ahead against the run of play following a
defensive error, before slack work left Stan Seymour unattended to walk the ball home
at the Leazes End just on half time.
The Gunners travelled from Redcar, having based themselves
there for a game against Middlesbrough four days earlier.

The Premier League gave Newcastle permission for Glenn
Roeder to continue in his temporary position as caretaker
manager until the end of the season.
It
was thought that the West Bromwich

City and visit of Chelsea coming outside the declared 12
week maximum dispensation for a boss who lacked the Pro
Licence qualification.
However, the club announced a request for an
extension had been granted.

Donaldson's brace.
Charlie Barnett then scored the decisive goal via a cruel
