The odds against Leeds United facing Southampton again in the Championship play-off final are high
If Saturday's Elland Road clash with Southampton feels like Leeds United's biggest game of the season, then the next time Daniel Farke's men face the Saints could yet be even bigger.
The most likely outcome, unfortunately, is that we're set for the thrills and spills of the play-offs, meaning a two-legged semi-final with the side that finishes in sixth place and, hopefully, a final date at Wembley against the winners of the fourth vs fifth tie. Which is why Leeds United must send a message to Southampton by flexing their muscles at Elland Road on Saturday. Not only is a potential second spot at stake, but they have the chance to leave the Saints in no doubt over just how good they are.
They need to win for so many reasons, but even if things don't go their way at Ipswich, a victory on Saturday could yet prove vital in their promotion bid.
