'It's vital that it's completed': Leeds United desperate to finish Championship season as they chase promotion to Premier League and club reveal they are even willing to play games behind closed doors

Championship leaders Leeds United believe it is 'vital' for the current season to be finished and are prepared to play behind closed doors to do so.

Marcelo Bielsa's side lead West Brom by one point and are seven clear of third-placed Fulham as they bid for a return to the Premier League after 16 years outside the top flight.

The impact of coronavirus on the football calendar threatens to delay or possibly derail their promotion hopes and, in response, the club have come out and declared their desire for the campaign to be played to a conclusion, even if that means without supporters inside the stadium.
