Leeds United's hopes of an immediate return to the Premier League took a considerable dent on Tuesday night as Ipswich Town moved three points ahead in the Championship table - but with one game each remaining and the Whites' superior goal difference, anything is possible.

Leeds' chances of automatic promotion this season are admittedly slim following Ipswich's win over Coventry in midweek, but at the very least it focuses hearts and minds on a series of non-negotiables United must abide by before the end of the regular season this Saturday. Three points for Daniel Farke's men and an Ipswich loss on the final day will do it for Leeds, as improbable as that appears, given the comparative level of opposition the two sides face on Saturday lunchtime.

Against Rotherham United , Millwall and Huddersfield Town this season, Southampton failed to win despite their overwhelming possession of the ball, beaten by the South Londoners and held by the two Yorkshire clubs. Additionally, Leeds tend to perform better when they have less possession, winning five and drawing one of their six games when forfeiting the majority share of the ball to their opponent this season.
