LONDON — Leeds and Southampton will slug it out for a lucrative place in the Premier League when they meet in football's single richest match at Wembley on Sunday.Promotion to the English top-flight is worth an estimated 140 million pounds for the Championship play-off final winner.No other game can offer such wealth, given the vast increases in matchday, broadcast and commercial revenue available to clubs who reach the Premier League .
While the cash prize is a huge bonus, it is the prestige of competing with Manchester City and Arsenal, rather than second-tier minnows like Plymouth and Oxford, that will fuel two sides desperate to regain their Premier League status after a year in exile.Relegation from the top tier can be ruinous, but Leeds and Southampton handled their demotion astutely enough to move within one win of a return to the promised land.
