Sport nationLeeds United’s play-off schedule has been confirmed, with the team set to feature in the first play-off semi-final if they miss out on automatic promotion. The first leg will take place on Sunday, May 12, at 12:30 pm away at the sixth-placed finishing side, with the second leg taking place at Elland Road on Thursday, May 16, at 8 pm.
The potential opponents for Leeds United in the semi-finals are West Brom, Norwich City, and Hull City, with West Brom currently sitting in sixth place, only a point behind Norwich City and two points ahead of Hull City. The second semi-final will take place on the same day as the first leg of Leeds’ semi-final, with the second leg taking place the following night at Southampton, who will likely face either Norwich or West Brom in the other semi-final.
The Championship play-off final will take place at Wembley on Sunday, May 26, with the kick-off time yet to be confirmed. Leeds United were given a top-two lifeline on the back of Friday night’s 4-0 thumping at QPR on Saturday evening, as automatic promotion rivals Ipswich Town were held to a thrilling 3-3 draw at play-off chasing Hull City.
The draw took third-placed Ipswich level on points with Leeds, but Daniel Farke’s Whites still sit in the division’s second automatic promotion place through a plus seven better goal difference. Ipswich still have a game in hand, which presents itself on Tuesday evening at a Coventry City side who can no longer finish in the top six.
Ipswich then host relegation-bound Huddersfield Town on Saturday’s final day, when Leeds take on fourth-placed Southampton at Elland Road. Defeat for Southampton at home to Stoke City this weekend has left Russell Martin’s side destined for a fourth-placed finish, and Leeds will definitely finish in third should they miss out on the top two.
