New predicted Championship table backs Leeds United glory amid Southampton and Ipswich heartbreak

Leeds United won again on Saturday and victory over Rotherham looks to have tipped the promotion scales in their favour.

Leeds United beat Rotherham 3-0 on Saturday and with it, picked up their sixth straight win in the Championship. Crysencio Summerville's brace followed Patrick Bamford's controversial opener in as comfortable a victory that Elland Road has seen all season.

Daniel Farke's men have enjoyed an outstanding start to 2024, taking the maximum of 18 possible points and squeezing the pressure on Southampton and Ipswich Town, who are now fourth amid a poor run. Southampton had to come from behind to beat Huddersfield Town 5-3 on Saturday but despite also picking up three crucial points and retaining second spot, looked vulnerable.

There are still 15 games remaining for Leeds and 16 each for Southampton and Ipswich, but FootballWP have crunched the numbers and predicted how the Championship table will look come May. And for the first time this season, it looks good for Leeds.
