The picture has altered at the top of the Championship and a supercomputer has a major Whites change in its new predicted final table and points.

Leeds went into Tuesday night’s clash at Middlesbrough sat outside of the division’s automatic promotion places in third place but Daniel Farke’s Whites ended the night in first place.

United’s 1-0 win The Riverside took them from third to first as Sheffield United suffered a 1-0 loss at home to Millwall and Burnley drew 0-0 at Stoke City.

With just five games left, Leeds now sit top of the pile and ahead of second-placed Burnley on goal difference with a two-point gap back to third-placed Sheffield United.

Sunderland are a further seven points back in third.

Opta’s team had Burnley winning the division on 96 points and Leeds sealing automatic promotion on goal difference with the third-placed Blades also on 94 points.
