Leeds vs Southampton Championship Play-off Final: preview

Widely regarded as football's richest game, today's EFL Championship Play-off Final gives Leeds United and Southampton the chance to bounce back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

Following yesterday's brilliantly sunny day at Wembley, the weather for this one is... not good. There is a lot of rain in the air, which might mean for a slick surface and the odd slip and slide on football's finest surface. Hopefully that won't lead to any howlers that could cost a team a crucial goal and haunt a player for years to come.

After his side were disappointingly dumped out of the top flight last season, Leeds manager Daniel Farke has steadied the ship and then some at Elland Road. For a while it looked as though Leeds would join Leicester in securing automatic promotion, but Ipswich pipped them to the post. A 4-0 thumping of Norwich in the semi brought them to this final – can Dutch duo Crysencio Summerville and Joël Piroe inspire them to another famous win?

They'll have to overcome a club who beat them twice in the league this season, with Russell Martin's Southampton apparently having the measure of their Yorkshire opponents. Adam Armstrong's goals have kept them in the hunt all season after the pain of finishing rock bottom in the EPL last May, and another brace overcame West Brom in the Saints' semi-final.

It's all eyes on Wembley today, with no great surprised in terms of the starting line-ups. So keep reading for all the information you need to watch a Leeds vs Southampton live stream, including TV channels and streaming services around the world.
