Getting to Leipzig and back in a day

No same-day return flight from the UK in the saved winter timetable yet.

Airport to the centre: S-Bahn S5/S5X, 14 min.

How the day-or-night answer works: the latest flight home, minus 14 minutes back to the airport, minus 90 minutes at the airport. The 90 minutes is our assumption. Flight times are the saved winter timetable, not a booking.
