Cup finals will dominate next season’s Championship schedule. There are expected to be at least 46 across the nine months of football being played out in the second tier and they will all involve Leeds United.
Don’t fret though, Sky Sports is bound to be broadcasting the vast majority of them live across their channels. The Whites always felt like a big fish in a small pond through their 16 years of top-flight exile and that gulf has only grown after relegation.
Boosted by three years of Premier League wealth and international talent, United have only seen the target on their back grow during their EFL hiatus. One of the challenges the next head coach will have to manage is that expectation and being the opponent’s cup final every weekend.
