Team News

Leeds
Southampton
  • Expect Daniel Farke to name an unchanged starting XI at Wembley after watching his men hammer Norwich 4-0 at Elland Road last time out.
  • Centre-back Pascal Struijk and striker Patrick Bamford will both miss the play-off final on Sunday, while full-back Sam Byram's involvement will go down to the wire.
  • The main point of contention in the Southampton camp heading into the final has been the fitness of Scottish international Che Adams.
  • The striker missed both legs of the semi-final against West Brom through injury but returned to training after last Friday's fixture and is expected to start here.
  • David Brooks will be the man to miss out if Adams does return, while Ryan Manning could start at left-back in place of Jack Stephens.

Head to Head Stats

Prediction

  • After a cagey first-leg encounter at Carrow Road, Leeds asserted their dominance over Norwich in the second leg last Thursday, scoring three times in the first half alone en route to a 4-0 home win.
  • That result cost David Wagner his job, but it earned Leeds a place in the play-off final as Daniel Farke's side target an instant return to the Premier League.
  • Southampton's first-leg fixture also ended goalless, but like their play-off final opponents, they stretched their legs in the second leg as an Adam Armstrong brace sealed a trip to Wembley after Will Smallbone gave the Saints a 1-0 lead.
  • Russell Martin's men did the double over Leeds in the regular season and have a stronger bench to call upon when they do battle under the arch on Sunday.
