Leeds United dropped out of the play-off positions on Easter Monday when they were beaten 1-0 at home by Wolverhampton Wanderers, and things got even worse on Saturday when they lost 2-1 against Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.

The result left Garry Monk’s side three points behind sixth-placed Fulham with just two Championship matches of the season remaining, and is a bitter blow to the Yorkshire outfit who have spent a large chunk of the campaign in the top six.

Having taken just one point from their last three games, Monk will know that he must try and keep morale in his squad up in what is set to be two must-win matches against Norwich City this weekend and then Wigan Athletic on the final day.

While things may look bleak for United supporters right now, all is certainly not lost as the club bids for a long-awaited return to the Premier League.

Here are three reasons Leeds will still secure a Championship play-off spot…

Leeds have perhaps hit a bit of luck with respect with the two sides they will face in their final two league fixtures.

Norwich are just one spot behind Garry Monk’s side in the table and are in impressive form having won three of their last four matches, but with a top six spot unattainable some of their players may have more than an eye on the summer break.

Meanwhile, Wigan are clinging on to their Championship status but know they must beat third-placed Reading at the Madejski Stadium on Saturday to keep their survival hopes alive.

Huddersfield’s form

Just a few weeks ago the Terriers were automatic promotion contenders, but having picked up just seven points from the last 21 available in the Championship their top six spot is looking a little less secure.

Having lost 4-1 at home to Fulham on Saturday, David Wagner’s side face Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux on Tuesday night and should they lose, they would be five points above Leeds with a trip to Harry Redknapp’s Birmingham City – who are in desperate need of a win – on Saturday.

Fulham's run-in

Three points above them in the table, Slavisa Jokanovic’s men are certainly the most catchable for Leeds and they look to have a tough run-in on paper.

They host west London neighbours Brentford – who will be keen to stop their rivals securing a top six spot – at Craven Cottage on Saturday, before they face a huge clash against Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough on the final day.

With a chance that the Owls’ own play-off spot won’t be confirmed until the final day if Leeds beat Norwich and they fail to win at Ipswich, it could be a must-win fixture for Carlos Carvalhal’s side.
