Leeds or Southampton to get last remaining place in the Premier League? For the North! | OneFootball

The big Premier League showdown on Sunday afternoon.

Leeds United up against Southampton.

The winners claim the ‘biggest prize in football’, whatever figure they are putting on it this season, if going into the Premier League via the play-offs.

So which of the two do you want to win at Wembley today?

Well, this is my position.

For the North!

Yes, I know it is Leeds United, but just consider this.

If dirty (ask your father / grandfather) Leeds don’t go up, who will be Newcastle United’s nearest local rivals?

Well this is who we have lost this season, number of miles round trip from Newcastle United / St James’ Park to each stadium:

235 miles – Burnley

271 miles – Sheff Utd

499 miles – Luton

Then this is who we have gained already for next season, number of miles round trip from Newcastle United / St James’ Park to each stadium:

360 miles – Leicester

570 miles – Ipswich

This is who we knew we’d have next season who were already in the Premier League, number of miles round trip from Newcastle United / St James’ Park to each stadium:

288 miles – Man City

301 miles – Man U

340 miles – Nottingham Forest

352 miles – Everton

356 miles – Liverpool

420 miles – Aston Villa

440 miles – Wolves

546 miles – Arsenal

562 miles – Chelsea

562 miles – Fulham

566 miles – Tottenham

566 miles – West Ham

582 miles – Crystal Palace

582 miles – Brentford

689 miles – Brighton

698 miles – Bournemouth

Then finally this is who we could gain on Sunday afternoon, number of miles round trip from Newcastle United / St James’ Park to each stadium:

190 miles – Leeds United

645 miles – Southampton
