Leeds United must win their games, and hope for a Sheffield United slip up.

A depressing defeat for Leeds United at the weekend has taken promotion out of their hands with three games to go.

The Whites must beat Brentford tomorrow, while hoping Sheffield United slip up.

Key to this is Hull City star Jarrod Bowen, one of the Championship’s best players this season, who goes up against the Blades later today.

Bowen has 21 goals this season, the joint seventh highest tally in the Championship.

Two of Bowen’s strikes came in a 2-0 win for Hull at the KC Stadium against Leeds in late December.

His form has attracted interest from Premier League teams, with The Sun reporting Bowen is valued at £20 million.

Right now, Bowen is going through a little of a dry spell in front of goal by his standards.

He has no goals in his last five, and has netted in only one of his last eight matches.

Hull need him to get back to his best if they are to bounce back from two consecutive defeats and secure a top 10 finish.

Leeds also need him to show the form which they couldn’t cope with themselves, before they set about taking on Brentford.
