Leeds United host Southampton in what could be a decisive final-day Championship clash.
Southampton will be without Stuart Armstrong for their final-day trip to Leeds United after the midfielder was stretchered off during Saturday’s 2-1 defeat at Cardiff City. Armstrong went down off the ball after seemingly planting his foot awkwardly in the ground, with the 32-year-old leaving the Cardiff City Stadium pitch on a stretcher after a lengthy delay. Southampton had already made all five changes and so finished the game with 10 men.
Cardiff’s equaliser allowed them to grow into the game and the Welsh outfit eventually nicked it late. Defeat for Southampton leaves them five points adrift of the automatic promotion places and three short of third-placed Leeds, with just three games remaining. They are still mathematically in the race for a top-two finish but a resigned Martin admits ‘a lot of harm’ was done to their chances at Cardiff.
