The first leg of the play-offs finished 0-0, and now Leeds host the Canaries at Elland Road tonight.

If Leeds fail to reach the Premier League, there is expected to be a major clearout in the summer.

To add to the nerves, the Whites have never won promotion via the play-offs.

This is the sixth time they has been in a play-off and have failed in their previous five attempts.

The Daily Mail has reported that the club will have to raise almost £100m if they remain in the Championship.

The report claims that star winger Crysencio Summerville, 22, would be the "most likely" to leave the club.

The Dutchman has impressed this season with 19 goals and nine assists in the league.

Other notable stars that could be set for the chopping block include goalkeeper Illan Meslier, winger Willy Gnonto and forward Georginio Rutter.

Promising youngster Archie Gray, 18, could also be sold with the likes of Liverpool being mooted as a potential destination.

The reason behind the potential sales is down to the club being at risk of breaching the EFL's spending rules.

The host of sales would be able to offset the operating losses the club is currently dealing with.

In its latest set of accounts, the club lost £34m but it would have been £106m if not for the sales of Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha.
