Leeds United have won six matches on the spin to boost their promotion chances. However, their main rivals are, also, in tip-top form as they target a place in the Premier League next season.
Goals from Patrick Bamford and Crysencio Summerville (2) did the damage for Daniel Farke’s side during a 3-0 win against Rotherham United on Saturday afternoon. However, table-topping Leicester City and Southampton picked up victories, too, to remain in the Championship’s two automatic spots.
