Leeds United are firmly in control of their own fate as they push for promotion with Southampton faltering in their recent match against Hull City. Despite a game in hand, the Saints failed to capitalize and secure a win, allowing Leeds to maintain their position in second place in the Championship.
Southampton’s hopes of climbing back up to second place were dashed as they suffered their second defeat in three matches, losing 2-1 at St Mary’s. Despite a late effort from Joe Aribo, it was not enough to secure a comeback and the Tigers reclaimed their spot in the play-off places.
Meanwhile, Ipswich Town’s victory over Rotherham United propelled them ahead of Southampton in the standings, adding to the pressure on the Saints to keep pace with Leeds.
With 13 matches left in the season, Southampton trails Leeds by two points, making every upcoming match crucial in the battle for promotion. Leeds, currently level on points with Ipswich Town, are focused on their upcoming clash with Leicester City as they aim to close the gap on the league leaders and maintain their unbeaten home record.
