Kieran McKenna’s Tractor Boys are sitting pretty at the top of the table after their stunning 3-2 win over Southampton on Easter Monday.
Davis impressed once again, even putting his side 1-0 up on 13 minutes with an exceptional goal.
The full-back controlled a diagonal pass in the box before unleashing a sensational strike beyond Gavin Bazunu.
England‘s regular left-back Luke Shaw has endured an injury-hit campaign.
The Manchester United star has not played since sustaining a muscular injury against Luton in February.
Should Shaw not make it back in time for Euro 2024, Ben Chilwell is in pole position to be England No3 in Germany.
With the Chelsea ace having failed to impress fans during recent friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, however, some want Southgate to look to Davis.
One wrote: “Gareth Southgate, I hope you’ve been watching Leif Davis. He’s so much better than Chilwell.”

While a second cried: “Leif Davis is easily the most inform English Left Back right now. Southgate should have called him up in the recent friendlies.”
A third posted: “If Luke Shaw isn’t fit for the Euros. Southgate Must get Leif Davis on the Plane.”
And another added: “Someone tell Gareth Southgate to go have a look at Leif Davis…absolutely class! Get him on that plane.”
Joe Gomez was in Southgate’s most recent squad, having covered at left-back on occasion for Liverpool.
Kieran Trippier, who is also currently sidelined, has been used on the left flank by the England boss.
Davis, meanwhile, has played 37 times in the Championship this season.
He has scored twice, while laying on an astonishing 19 assists – the most in the second-tier this term.
