Leeds need relegation-destined Huddersfield to bag a shock final day victory at second-placed Ipswich to stand any chance of achieving automatic promotion. Only then would a final day win for Leeds at home to Southampton be enough for Daniel Farke’s Whites to wrestle the division’s second automatic promotion place back from the Tractor Boys. Huddersfield, though, know realistically that even victory at Ipswich won’t be enough to keep them up. The second-bottom Terriers are three points adrift of...
