Leeds v Southampton LIVE: Championship result and reaction as Whites miss out on promotion

Leeds United will play against Southampton for their last match of the Championship season, and they could still get promoted to the Premier League.

It seems highly improbable for the White team, but if they manage to win against the Saints and their Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield, who have already been relegated, surprisingly manage to beat Ipswich, then Leeds would secure a prompt return to the Premier League.

Daniel Farke has done an excellent job with his team this season, and even if they don't get promoted automatically, they could become the first team in over two decades to earn more than 90 points and not make it to the top two in the Championship. This is similar to what happened with Sunderland back in 1998.

During that particular year, the Black Cats sustained a defeat that was arguably one of the most remarkable in play-off final history, against Charlton. In the upcoming 2024 play-offs, Leeds will need to be cautious about potential obstacles if the Terriers do not lend their support. These unexpected setbacks are commonly referred to as "banana skins."
