Leeds United 1-2 Southampton highlights: Whites miss out on automatic promotion as play-offs confirmed
Leeds United host Southampton in their forty-sixth and final league fixture of the 2023/24 Championship season with automatic promotion still in reach, but a spot in the play-offs looking more than likely.
The Whites are without Dan James, Pascal Struijk and Stuart Dallas for the visit of the Saints, while Connor Roberts and Patrick Bamford are both doubts. Neither are likely to feature from the start if passed fit, meaning Daniel Farke is not expected to make sweeping changes from last Friday’s line-up against Queens Park Rangers.
Farke admitted Leeds embarrassed themselves at Loftus Road as hopes of returning to the Premier League via the top two all but slipped through their fingers this past week. However, the manager insists this week’s training has been positive and given him reason to be carefully optimistic of securing a result against fellow promotion hopefuls via the play-offs, Southampton.
