Leeds, Leicester and Ipswich are fighting for the title and are only separated by two points.

All three teams have huge games on Easter Monday as the season approaches its climax.

The Tractor Boys are currently the league leaders but have played a game more than the Foxes, who have let their lead slip away. 

Enzo Maresca’s men were 12 points clear at one point, but they now trail Ipswich by two points after a 1-0 defeat to Bristol City on Good Friday.

They host play-off chasing Norwich next, and it will be live exclusively on talkSPORT 2.
