Leeds United must wait until Monday for their match against Middlesbrough, but they’re hoping that West Brom, led by Carlos Corberan, can assist them by securing a positive result against Leicester on Saturday.
With just three games left in the Championship season, Leeds, under Daniel Farke’s management, find themselves trailing the top spot by two points and are eager for a change in their recent performance.
Ipswich Town won’t be playing this weekend due to Coventry City’s involvement in the FA Cup, creating an opportunity for Leeds, Leicester, and Southampton to gain an advantage.
Broadcasters have rescheduled Leeds’ game against Middlesbrough to Monday, making them the last team to play in this gameweek among those in action.
Meanwhile, Leicester will host West Brom, aiming to bounce back from consecutive losses to lower-ranked teams.
Southampton’s recent three consecutive victories have put them back in contention for promotion. A win against Cardiff City could see them level on points with Leeds.
Leeds faces a unique scenario of playing last among the top four teams in action. However, they have two games before Ipswich kicks off, facing Middlesbrough on Monday and QPR on Friday.
West Brom, managed by Carlos Corberan, has proven to be a tough opponent for Leeds this season. They have held Leeds to draws in both encounters and have also earned points against Ipswich.
With Leicester struggling for confidence, Corberan’s West Brom could add more pressure by delivering a favorable outcome, potentially aiding Leeds, his former club.
West Brom is also striving to secure a playoff spot but has only managed one win in their last five games, leaving them just a point above sixth-placed Norwich City.
A victory against Leicester would allow Leeds to extend their lead at the top and potentially claim the league’s summit, while Ipswich awaits their turn.
Following that, Leicester will take on Southampton, continuing their challenging run.
