Leeds United completed a strong pre-season in style with Saturday’s 4-0 thumping of FC Augsburg - but where do the bookies think the Whites will finish come the new season itself?
Daniel Farke’s Whites will begin their second year back in the country’s top flight in just five days’ time with Saturday’s clash at Nottingham Forest in a 3pm kick-off at the City Ground.
The summer friendlies are now done and Farke’s side have enjoyed a very decent summer, a narrow defeat to Wrexham in America followed by victories against Sunderland and Liverpool in the States before more good results back home.
After beating RB Leipzig 2-0 at Elland Road, Leeds shared a 1-1 draw with Manchester United in Dublin before rounding off their friendlies with the weekend’s easy win against Augsburg.
Now it’s crunch time - and the bookies have given fresh backing to the Whites in their predicted final table.
Based on the very latest odds, here is where they think Leeds will finish versus the likes of Sunderland, Everton and the weekend’s opening weekend hosts Forest.
