Leeds United's changed promotion odds and new predicted final Championship table after Sheffield United, Burnley, Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers boosts

All four of Leeds United’s main four promotion rivals have been boosted – leading to new Whites promotion odds and a fresh predicted Championship table.

Leeds went into last weekend’s clash at Preston North End sat second but knowing that victory would take them top and two points clear of Sheffield United ahead of a 3pm hosting of Plymouth Argyle for the Blades. A win for Daniel Farke’s side would have also stablished a six-point cushion in the division’s automatic promotion spots ahead of away fixtures for Sunderland and Burnley at Swansea City and Norwich City respectively.

Leeds, though, had to settle for a 1-1 draw at Deepdale and Saturday afternoon’s results then featured wins for both Sheffield United and Sunderland in addition to Blackburn Rovers who have now won six in a row.

It left the Blades three points clear of second-placed Leeds with a two-point gap back to third placed Sunderland and with fourth placed Burnley just four points behind but with a game in hand. The Clarets were then last to play on Sunday afternoon and Scott Parker’s side moved back up to third and just one point behind Leeds through a comeback 2-1 success at Norwich City.

Blackburn are also entering the mix, John Eustace’s side having now won six on the spin and able to move level on points with fourth-placed Sunderland – and just two points behind Leeds – if winning their game in hand.

It’s suddenly much tighter at the top – albeit with the Blades now three points clear – but how has that affected United’s promotion odds and the new predicted final Championship table with the bookmakers? Here, based on the very latest best available prices, is the full new rundown in reverse order from bottom to top – with odds for relegation used to determine sides expected to end up in the bottom half.
