A Premier League spot is on the line as Leeds United and Southampton clash in the playoff final at Wembley Stadium. Leeds dominated Norwich City with a 4-0 victory to secure their place in the final and are expected to maintain their attacking approach. Without any new injury concerns, manager Daniel Farke is likely to field the same lineup that triumphed over Norwich. However, Patrick Bamford and Pascal Struijk remain sidelined.
Southampton, on the other hand, earned their spot in the final by defeating WBA in a two-legged tie, but they face a tougher challenge against Leeds. Considering Leeds United’s impressive offensive display against Norwich City, it’s anticipated that Southampton will struggle in London. Injuries to Stuart Armstrong, Gavin Bazunu, and Juan Larios will further complicate matters for the Saints.
Prediction: 2-1
