Leeds losing will be a major result for Leicester as they will only need three points from their remaining games to go up, meaning one win in any game will do it.
A draw for Farke’s men at Middlesbrough would benefit the Foxes too as they would then only need four points from their remaining three games to get promoted.
Should Leeds win, Maresca’s men would still need two wins from their final three.
They play Southampton, Preston and Blackburn to round the season off and know what needs to be done to achieve their goal.
Ipswich are currently in second place and will face three games in eight days to end their campaign, knowing wins in all of them would guarantee them a Premier League place too.
