Leicester City and Ipswich Town are currently at the top of the Championship, with the fight for automatic promotion spots expected to go right down to the wire. It’s not just about them, though – Southampton are looking to bounce back from a series of losses and reclaim their spot in the top four.
The significance of Leeds’ recent win against Leicester cannot be overstated, as it has improved their position in the table. While it’s likely that the battle for automatic promotion will last until the end of the season, Leeds are in a good position to secure a playoff spot earlier.
With a comfortable 20-point lead over seventh-placed Norwich City, it’s highly probable that Leeds will secure at least a playoff spot well before the end of the season. They only need 17 points from their remaining matches to secure a playoff spot, a task that seems achievable considering the current standings of their competitors.
If all goes well, Leeds could confirm their playoff spot by the end of March. While it may not be their ultimate goal, it would be a significant milestone for the team and a step towards what could become a season to remember.
