Leeds United v Southampton: Championship playoff final – live

As Nietzsche was saying

Both teams are unchanged from the second leg of the semi-final, which makes this a very easy entry to write.

“Spoiler alert: Nasty Leeds fan here,” says Jeremy Boyce. “Everything crossed it goes our way, but hats off to Saints if it’s they who make it, they are a class act and have already beaten us twice this season. May the better team win, and the other one join them very soon.”

This was a big result in Southampton’s ultimately successful fight against relegation. The second goal is one of the best you’ll ever see.

(If you want to know more about this absurd story, Josh Widdicombe and Dara O’Briain did a very funny podcast on the subject.)

Louise Taylor’s preview

Hello and welcome to live, minute-by-minute coverage of the Championship playoff final from Wembley. This is always a Brobdingnagian fixture, but this year it feels even bigger. That’s partly because of how good these teams have been this season, with a combined total of 187 points, and also because of how big they are. Leeds and Southampton belong in the top tier of English football, but only one of them will be there next season.

Kick off 3pm.
