Leicester City will hope to have Ricardo Pereira available for Tuesday’s game against Southampton in a huge boost for Leeds United’s promotion rivals. Pereira was on the bench for Leicester’s 1-0 win over West Brom on Saturday but was not fit enough to feature, with manager Enzo Maresca conscious of managing minutes.

Leeds United have just three games left to decide how their first season back in the Championship will end, with automatic promotion or play-off drama the two options. Daniel Farke’s side have done brilliantly to put themselves in the race for a top-two finish but recent slip-ups have significantly increased the tension in West Yorkshire.

Leeds need to make up ground on at least one of Ipswich Town or Leicester City, who currently occupy the Championship’s top-two places, after recent slip-ups threw away the chance to take control of the promotion race. Daniel Farke’s side are winless in three and can count themselves fortunate that others have also faltered. Leeds are two points behind Ipswich and...
