UNITED HOME IN ON EUROPE
by Chris Bargh
LEEDS look certain to be playing in Europe and UEFA Cup football at least next season after Chelsea and Arsenal both won through to the FA Cup Final on Sunday.
The two London sides both recorded 1-0 victories over Fulham and Middlesbrough respectively meaning that the team that finishes sixth in the Premiership is certain to take up the European place made vacant by the fact that both club's look certain to qualify for Europe through the league.
As Leeds continue with their late bid to finish fourth and so qualify for the Champions League, Sunday's cup outcome couldn't have worked out better,
The all London final therefore ends United's fears that they may have faced an early return from their summer break to try to qualify for the UEFA Cup through the Intertoto Cup.
Leeds boss David O'Leary will no doubt be delighted by the semi-final Sunday results as he can now plan his summer without having to worry about cutting short his squad's close season.
