Midfielder Barry Bannan of Sheffield Wednesday revealed which team, out of Leeds United, Leicester City, and Ipswich Town, he would most like to see promoted.
After Southampton’s setback to Cardiff City on Saturday, it now appears that a three-horse race will occur in the final two weeks of the season, despite their recent mini-resurgence.
There are currently just two points separating the top three: Leicester is at the top with 91, Leeds is in second place with 90, and Ipswich is just outside with 89. Nevertheless, compared to both, the Whites have played one more game.
All three teams have recently suffered a decline in performance; but, with Ipswich off the field, Leicester and Leeds were able to increase the pressure with spirited victories over Middlesbrough and West Brom, respectively.
Even though Leeds’ team was beleaguered by injuries in the days leading up to last night’s game, they managed to persevere and earn a decisive three points, which was evident from Liam Cooper’s joyous celebration from the sidelines.
Bannan reveals which player from Ipswich and Leeds he would rather see promoted.
This has been one of, if not the finest races for automatic promotion ever witnessed in the Championship, despite the overwhelming amount of twists and turns.
As a result, football fans from all around the world have been making predictions, and Danny Murphy is one of many who believes Leeds should make a comeback to the Premier League.

On the other side, because of the strain on the Whites, analysts like Troy Deeney have supported Ipswich to defeat Leeds.
The next to weigh in on the discussion is Wednesday star and former Leeds loanee Bannan, who stated on talkSPORT this morning that he would rather see Ipswich advance.
“I think Ipswich have been amazing, and I would like to see them go up, obviously after they came up through League One last season,” he remarked. Regardless of who advances, each of the three contending clubs most likely deserves it in their own unique manner. We find it fascinating to watch.
Why Leeds might be superior to Ipswich
Leicester would virtually guarantee their spot in the Premier League with a victory over Southampton this evening, even though there are still three horses in the race.
After that, Leeds and Ipswich would compete for second place over the course of the following twelve days. Although the latter team has a game in hand, Daniel Farke’s team may end up winning.
Before Leeds’ next game, which is a trip to QPR 24 hours before the Tractor Boys’ match against Hull City, they have a chance to go four points clear of Ipswich.
If Leeds triumphed, Ipswich would be under tremendous pressure to win both of their difficult road games against the Tigers and Coventry City.
