Surprising new Leeds United verdict in bookies' fresh predicted final Championship table vs Burnley, Sheffield United and Sunderland with huge change

Leeds United have dropped out of the Championship’s automatic promotion places and the bookies have cast a surprising new Whites verdict in their new predicted final table.

Daniel Farke’s Whites began the weekend sat in the division’s second automatic promotion spot but only ahead of third-placed Burnley on goal difference. The Whites and Clarets were then both in action in Saturday lunchtime kick-offs. As Leeds were held to a 1-1 draw at Luton, Burnley rocketed into top spot with a 2-1 victory at Coventry City, moving one point above Sheffield United who dropped to second and two points clear of Leeds who dropped to third. Sheffield United, though, were left with a game in hand and had the opportunity to reclaim top spot in their 3pm kick-off at Oxford United. Yet the Blades fell to a surprising 1-0 defeat which left Chris Wilder’s side second, one point behind Burnley and only one point ahead of Farke’s Whites. The results also allowed fourth-placed Sunderland to make ground, the Black Cats winning 1-0 at West Brom and now only seven points behind Leeds with six games left. Following the weekend’s fresh twists, the bookies have changed their odds and cast a surprising new Whites verdict in their new predicted final table. Here is the full new rundown in reverse order, using prices for relegation to determine sides expected to end up in the bottom half.
