Leeds United v Southampton: match preview

Leeds v Southampton
Leeds v Southampton: probable starters in bold, contenders in light Illustration: x

Jesse Marsch has led Leeds to two successive victories, both secured by dramatic stoppage-time winners while talented yet erratic Southampton have lost their past three games. Leeds, though, remain slightly anxious about relegation and Marsch could have done without the news that Patrick Bamford’s latest foot injury has left his most dangerous forward touch-and-go to return before the end of the season. More positively his newly fit enforcer Kalvin Phillips could start in midfield for the first time this season. Louise Taylor
