Championship form table highlights Leeds United struggles compared to Leicester City and Ipswich Town

Leeds United may have missed their chance at automatic promotion due to their poor form.

Leeds United have endured a torrid few weeks and could miss out on automatic promotion from the Championship as a result. A humbling 4-0 defeat at Queens Park Rangers on Friday stopped Daniel Farke’s side from pulling four points clear of Ipswich Town, who could now go second this evening if they take anything from Coventry City.

United were top of the Championship during the March international break after an incredible 15-game unbeaten run saw them claw back 17 points on previous leaders Leicester City. But the Whites returned from that break depleted and have been unable to find their feet since.

Every automatic promotion contender has slipped up at points, such is the pressure of fighting for Premier League football, but United’s drop-off has been more concerning. Below, the YEP has taken a look at the six-game form table and it is not good reading for the Elland Road faithful.
