Leeds United will be in the Sky Bet Championship play-offs as they aim for a place in the Premier League.

Norwich City and Sheffield United have now secured automatic promotion after an Easter to forget for Leeds with Marcelo Bielsa's side now out to get the final spot via the play-offs.

Leeds will join West Brom, Aston Villa and one from Derby County, Middlesbrough or Bristol City in the end-of-season series.

There will be some thought about the play-offs ahead of the final game but they will need to be aware of a new EFL regulation.

The newly introduced rule prevents bosses from making large alterations to their teams in the final weeks of the season.

Back in 2017 Huddersfield Town made ten changes to their starting XI for their penultimate game of the season against Birmingham City.

Birmingham won that game 2-0 to take a big leap towards Championship safety. But the other clubs fighting the drop were furious with David Wagner’s team selection.

As a direct response to that game a vote was taken among EFL clubs and a new rule was brought into play.

The policy states: “For any league match played on or after the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.”

The EFL added: “In the event any club breaches the threshold, they may be charged with a breach of Regulation 24 and the matter will be referred to a disciplinary commission.”

That means Leeds players involved the last game must be included in the 18 on Sunday to avoid possible sanctions.
