Middlesbrough 3-4 Leeds United highlights: Seven-goal thriller ends in Whites' favour with Summerville double
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Whites trail top spot and Leicester City by four points after the Foxes recorded a narrow victory over West Bromwich Albion at the weekend and will only return to the automatic promotion places if they secure a win on Teesside tonight.
Ipswich Town do not play until Saturday afternoon, at which point Leeds could be four points clear of the Tractor Boys, should they win back-to-back games versus Middlesbrough and then Queens Park Rangers on Friday evening.
