Hide AdAs part of huge backing and confidence from the bookmakers, Leeds remain very strong odds-on favourite to go up as champions in being odds-on across the board and no bigger than 4-5 but as short as 8-13 with some firms.
Leeds are well clear of second favourites Sheffield United who are 5-1, followed by Sunderland at 15-2, Middlesbrough at 10s, Burnley at 14s and then West Brom at 25s. There is then a huge gap to Millwall at 80s.
The Whites are very short in the automatic promotion market at 2-7 - well ahead of the Blades at 2s - and Leeds are no bigger than 1-5 to go up either automatically or via the play-offs.
