Bookies cast strong Leeds United play-offs view in new predicted final Championship table on automatic promotion odds with big Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Luton Town changes

Leeds saw last season’s bid for an immediate Premier League return decided by the dreaded play-offs in which Farke’s Whites suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Southampton in the Wembley final having blitzed Norwich City in the semis. Leeds were pipped to automatic promotion by champions Leicester City and runners-up Ipswich Town who amassed huge points totals to condemn Leeds to a third-placed finish.

After 15 games of the new campaign, Leeds again find themselves in third place on 29 points, two less than both second-placed Sheffield United and leaders Sunderland but two more than fourth-placed Burnley. The Whites have a dreadful record in the play-offs – and the bookies now have a very strong view on whether they are heading for them again. Here, we run through each team’s automatic promotion odds via a predicted final table based on those prices in reverse order.
