Leeds United have delivered a big blow to a key promotion rival – and a supercomputer has cast a staggering new verdict on the Championship’s final predicted finishing positions and points.

Sheffield United arrived for Friday night’s clash at Elland Road as the division’s sole remaining unbeaten team but goals from Pascal Struijk and Mateo Joseph gave Leeds an impressive 2-0 success which allowed them to leapfrog the Blades on goal difference.

Leeds United's support has been incredible this season, and every single game has attracted over 35,000. All of their league games have attracted crowds of over 36,000, while a first round EFL Cup tie brought in a crowd of 35,150.

That won't come as a particular surprise to anybody, and it was a huge 8,000 people more than the second-best attendance of the weekend, with that also coming in Yorkshire, as 28,105 people turned up at Hillsborough as Sheffield Wednesday fell to defeat against Burnley.

Leeds temporarily moved second and level on points with leaders Sunderland but both Sunderland and Burnley then took victories from their weekend games. Burnley, 2-0 winners at Sheffield Wednesday, briefly went top and two points ahead of Leeds but Sunderland then resumed leadership of the division with Sunday’s 1-0 triumph at Hull City.

Leeds have had the best crowds in the Championship this season, and that will continue to be the case while they're flying high in the upper echelons of the table. The support of the Elland Road faithful makes a huge difference to the players, and it means it's an intimidating place to visit for opposition sides.
