Leeds United still sit in second place as Ipswich Town and Southampton caught up on their games in hand on Tuesday night, with questionable results for both coming in.

The Whites did their job last weekend by working their way past a stubborn Plymouth Argyle side with a 2-0 win and seventh clean sheet on the bounce – making it eight wins in a row in the league for Daniel Farke.

Up next is Leeds’ biggest test for some time, as they host Leicester City on Friday night at Elland Road looking to bridge the gap to top spot.

Leeds retained their place in the top two over the weekend, but all eyes were on the fixtures on Tuesday night as both Southampton and Ipswich Town played their respective games in-hand on Leeds.

The Saints hosted Hull City at St Mary’s in a tricky fixture against another side who hope to be in the Premier League next term, pushing for a top six finish.

Liam Rosenior’s side put in another impressive performance, beating Russell Martin’s men 2-1 away from home to ensure Leeds keep their two-point buffer on Southampton.

Elsewhere, Ipswich Town needed a last-gasp winner to see off struggling Rotherham at Portman Road, winning 4-3 against the bottom club.
