Leeds United 4-0 Ipswich Town highlights: Dominant Whites hit visitors for four in comprehensive table-top win
Promotion six-pointers don't come much bigger than this. Leeds know only three points will do this afternoon, otherwise the task of catching Ipswich and Leicester City with half of the season remaining will feel almost insurmountable.
United come into this one on the back of a pair of disappointing results, but remain unbeaten at Elland Road this term. In addition, Leeds have already beaten Ipswich this season, courtesy of the 4-3 scoreline at Portman Road back in August.

Hide AdDaniel Farke rallied the troops on Thursday during his pre-match press conference, declaring his love for the club, its fans and what it means to be Leeds United. The German has won this division twice before and is remaining calm despite the existing ten-point gap to the automatic promotion spots.
He will be without Jamie Shackleton and Sam Byram this afternoon, who miss out with glute and hamstring injuries, respectively. Junior Firpo and Ian Poveda are expected to return to the matchday squad, however.
Build-up, team news, goal and score updates here throughout the afternoon. Kick-off is at 12:30pm.
Leeds United vs Ipswich Town LIVE
90+1' Dominic Ball, ironically, does not get the ball as he slides in on Gnonto inside the centre circle. Yellow.
Not his best day
84' Leif Davis cheered off by the home fans as he is substituted for Brandon Williams, who is in turn, roundly booed.
71' CROSSBAR! Georginio's shot takes a deflection and crashes the woodwork. Corner ball, though. Lovely move, which began with Rutter, out wide to Spence, into Summerville who laid off for the 21 y/o.
